Hi all
check this out
It gives an idea of some of the "deadly" things which can be done with
javascript and those which "cannot" be done-
BE CAREFUL WITH THE "NASTY TRICKS SECTION"-SOME OF THEM ARE REALLY
DEADLY-FOR EXAMPLE THERE IS ONE WHICH CAPTURES YOUR MAILBOX-ALL MAILS
WHICH ARE GOT WHEN U ARE RUNNING THE SCRIPT MIGHT APPEAR AS JUNK.
They also claim there is one "which can shutdown ur computer" (ofcourse
needless to say it is for windows).mebbe somebody with a windows machine
can try that out .
