impossible. The JavaScript can't continue past your second statement
until the script is completed. That said, realize that certain script
commands may take a "life of their own" and not wait -- animation
commands start their own threads, for example -- so they don't wait for
anything. If you want to wait for them, you have to add your own
delay <seconds>
command to the script.
To see if I am right, add this to your while {}:
document.title = "BOB IS WRONG!"
and see if it ever shows. :)
