Introduction to Javascript Interpretation in the URL box
When I started learning JavaScript, I learned that Browser can interpret and execute JavaScript commands. On the other hand javaScript command is nothing but series of commands. So if someone wants to run JavaScript in URL they can do that. But there is one syntax.
Let’s see what is the syntax:
1.We need to provide “JavaScript” followed by a colon(“:”) and then the command.
2. Now give semicolon(“;”) and press enter
Let’s see how it works:
The browser detects if after javascript there is any colon that exists or not. If it is there browser needs to process the request and interpret otherwise it will try to find the same in www.
While checking out more I found https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=656433 this report. It is showing this feature is blocked.
Why??
I found a satisfactory reply

As per him
"I liked the idea of a paste-specific approach, since that leaves only relatively impractical attack alternatives (convincing users to manually type part of it in, having them paste it in the error console instead, etc.)"
I remember that while Orkutting in my early days I use to send Scraps To All Orkut Friends At Once .
I remember I used the below written code to scrap all of my friends.

[I]javascript:var a=document.getElementsByTagName (‘ textarea’) [0 ];a.value=a.value.replace (/|/g,” “);void(0) ; This can be done on any orkut page where you can post eg. scrapbook, community reply page etc. after writing the text. The text you wrote will now be vertically aligned!

These were fun in those days. Now I came to know that a little modification of these can be a security violation and can lead to a serious problem.
So this syntax does not work anymore. History!!!! yes, it is now History.
