261950 - JavaScript don't prevent loop of alert()'s

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 61098

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, enhancement)

Description

[Bruno Moreira Guedes]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040817
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040817

When some author writes a code with a loop of alerts(like
while(1){alert("a");}), the browser executes the script and not provide some
option to stop it, disable menus cause the alert window overwrites the main window.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create an HTML document with the JavaScript code while(1){alert("some message");}
2.Load the HTML document into browser
Actual Results:  
I've killed mozilla

Expected Results:  
Maybe detect the loop and show another kind of alert(with a title like "Bad loop
JavaScript" and a button like "Disable Script"), maybe don't execute the script,
or maybe ask to execute the script.
