 Is there a way to create a looping javascript alert? That doesn't stop popping up? Does anyone know the code if such a thing exists? thanks...

Code:
 
<script>
for (;;) {
  alert('blah')
}
</script>

I'm too scared to test it :ph34r:

 I'm stupid enough to test it :P
IE freezes.
FF doesn't, but becomes unusable.

So it works.

btw: what do you need this for??

 Morons in shoutboxes.

Banning them just isn't enough. What I have been using is a simple alert script, that does okay but then there's the smart ones that know how to press enter & fly through it.

Thanks for testing and the code.

IE freezes? hmmmm, I'll try it. I was looking for something that wouldn't crash anything.

 It did here.
But might just be because the 4843483 IE extra toolbars installed.

 Yeah, but I'm just looking for something that won't crash the persons computer, else can't I be held responsible for that? If the worst it does is make them have to turn off IE or firefox, or just restart their PC that doesn't break anything, just annoying.

thanks guys this is just what I needed.

 That's true.

But n00bs who spam shoutboxes with moronic things probably have less a clue about how to turn their computer on let alone turn javascript on and off so I'm not worried. :o
