That's not true either. You can popup an about:blank window and change it.
Click to expand...

In which browser and browser version can you do that? about:blank is an
unique domain name... With stricter security controls nowadays in
browsers, I doubt this can remain forever...

Not only by the validator
most of browsers don't eat that food ( </blah> )

try :
btn.innerHTML = "Dialog <u>b<\/u>utton";
or
btn.innerHTML = "Dialog <u>b<"+"/u>utton";

Firefox and IE do ("eat that food"). Can you name two that don't.
try :
btn.innerHTML = "Dialog <u>b<\/u>utton";
or
btn.innerHTML = "Dialog <u>b<"+"/u>utton";

Indeed, what browser is so bad as to not realize that it's only the
<script> tag that must be closed here? But it is prudent to escape
"</script>" when appearing in a javascript string because an unescaped
"</script>" will be interpreted as closing the opening <script...>
element.

Oops, in my script above, it should be </head> that follows </title>

Gérard, I assume your question was rhetorical - after all, did you see
any <a> elements in my code?

Sorry about that. I misread your post.

Cheers,

what purpose does clicking the errant alert box serve?

The line "window.open("javascript:'<html><head><title>" +
"Test</title><head><body>should be a button here </body>'");
Opens a new window in another thread, the original thread continues but
you cannot be sure that window is ready. The alert gives the other
thread time to open the window and continue.
