I laughed. Then I laughed at the sound effects. Then I laughed at what happened when I left the tab open in the background.
I’m glad I made you laugh

#32This quickly turned from a lightsaber battle into an XSS battle. Negotiations were short.
I wrote an XSS worm that turns people's names into "yay" (and the worm code) but made myself immune to it. Now someone will have to figure out how to write a counter-worm to remove the worm from the lightsaber population. Until then, the "name" feature will be permanently held hostage (by the yay worm)

Toying with #name-input and setName() was quite fun; I wish I was there to see this part happen! What `onerror` did you end up using to make it recursive?

This was the injected JS code:
document.getElementById('name-input').value = document.getElementById('yay').outerHTML; setName(); console.log('yay')

You might find this interesting, if you didn't know about it already: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samy_(computer_worm) . In 2005 someone wrote an XSS worm in MySpace that made everyone follow a single person. It worked by injecting itself in the victim's profile description. It quickly reached more than a million people.
