Why, server overload or I am doing something wrong?
var count = 0;
while ( count < 26 ) {
document.write('Hi');
}

28,558 PointsYou tell JavaScript to run the code while count
is less than 26, but within the loop you never increase the value of the count
variable. Which means that it always remain less than 26. That causes the loop to run infinitely, which is why your code never finishes.
You can fix that issue by simply adding a line of code that increases the value of the count
variable within the loop. Like this:
var count = 0;
while (count < 26) {
document.write('Hi');
count++ // Increase count by 1
}
