There's an old webpage I want the url of, as I don't remember it. When you went to the site, an error ballon popped up, greeting you. Click okay, and the person says something to you again, like The Red Button Joke (http://www.poqbum.com/RedButtonJoke/). However, it wouldn't let you close the page until you got to the end. It was a great prank. Anybody remember that page?

It was replicated all over the place in peoples myspaces and things like that. It used the javascript alert() function, and you could easily close it by killing the process, or by using an extension like NoScript.

Example:

<html>
<head>
<script>
alert('This is annoying');
alert('This is annoying');
alert('This is annoying');
alert('This is annoying');
alert('This is annoying');
</script>
</head>
<body>
Haha you fell for it etc etc
</body>
</html>

You can just hold enter as well.

i vaguely remember that closing your browser in task manager worked as well, since the alerts are within the page, rather than being new windows.

I used to have this program that would stop those kinds of things... not sure where it went though.

Opera has a nice little check box saying "stop executing scripts on this page" on the popup. Far easier than closing your browser or installing a plugin.
