Thanks Stefan! Excellent solution. I only vaguely remember reading about 
iframe -- I did not consider it relevant to me at the time -- but now be 
sure I'll educate myself on the issue in the near future.

The only problem now is the addition on top of the alert of the line:

"The page at http://emf.neocities.org says:"

(at least with Firefox). Is there a way to avoid this, or would you 
suggest an alternative?

One possibility now, of course, would be to eliminate the alert 
entirely; a main reason I had included the alerts was that sometimes I 
would click on the link before entering full screen mode. Now this seems 
less of an issue...
