I discussed this with my brother once, and we agreed that a modal javascript
alert should only be within a tab.  That way, something silly like that would
lock up all actions in that tab (except the close tab action), but wouldn't
affect other tabs.


We had this discussion back in 2003.  I've made the recommendation before, but I
am yet to see any browser get this right.
