No, you would not, because this is a javascript NG and not a .net one.

Javascript cannot be blamed for what other technologies do with it.

Please instead hate .net technology. They have their own NGs.

Furthermore, onmousedown is not Javascript,
in IE vbscript works just as well:

==============
<script type='text/vbscript'></script>
<button onmousedown = "for i=0 to 10:confirm(i):next">
count</button>
==============

Would this vbs do any better?
