note that if you're using a browser with a javascript debugger, you can stop this.
debug>[x] exclude browser files
while the silly alert is up, click stop in the debugger
click ok/cancel in the alert
in the immediate window of venkman, enter:
alert=function (){throw "stop that"}
click continue
your problem is gone.

We should think to normal people.
They don't know what's a while loop as they don't know what's a js debugger.
This process should be automated by browser I think,because people won't trouble
but something that works in the easiest way not all people are pleased to spent
time on the net to solve software related problem.
