There are inconsistencies in Opera since a while(true); loop in the top window won't block an iframe already present which aim is to send back a notify (could be an alert) Other browsers hardly reacts via WebWorkers, but this is another story. If the window is stuck (a while(true); as example) nothign will happen in current browser panorama, except Chrome, and the weird Opera. I have personally tried to re-implement WebWorkers for every browser as I've done with sessionStorage, but unfortunately there are too many limits and this was one of them - zero privileges whatever it is (fired events as well) and everything is synchronous. It's quite pretentious to define an XHR call as setTimeout(fn, 0) since the response time depends from network layer plus server response, which means I can drive whatever Ajax call without problems and nothing will be stuck in the UI, you know what I mean.
