HTML is not Turing complete so it doesn't matter.

So changing the URL with javascript is a GOTO, then?

its just [u][o]CONSIDERED HARMFUL[/u][/o] that's all

Informative reading, knock yourself out and form an oppinion about
GOTO for yourself.

There is nothing wrong with goto. However it makes your code become more convoluted and harder to read. It's much better to use the different forms of loops. I've seen it used to break out of loops before and it just looks terrible.

Makes more sense than the tract linked to in >>16.  It sounds like he's writing a whole lot of nothing about recursion, introduces GOTO as an antagonistic element in the start, but never really wraps his argument up.
