Question

So I made some timers for a quiz. The thing is, I just realized when I put

javascript: alert('blah'); 

in the address, the popup alert box pauses my timer. Which is very unwanted in a quiz.

I don’t think there is any way to stop this behaviour… but I’ll ask anyway.

If there is not, mind suggesting what should I do?

Apparently the preview rendering differs from the posted rendering. This paragraph is here to make sure the next two lines show up as code.

// Preserve native alert() if you need it for something special window.nativeAlert = window.alert;  window.alert = function(msg) {     // Do something with msg here. I always write mine to console.log,     // but then I have rarely found a use for a real modal dialog,     // and most can be handled by the browser (like window.onbeforeunload). };
