Scrollbars in alert dialog box

I have following HTML code which creates a dialog box when clicking the button.

On first click there is a horizontal scrollbar, however text is still readable, however if you click the button second time, the text is hidden under scrollbar.

How do you fix this?


<script type="text/javascript"> function clicker() { alert('SomeLongMessageWithoutSpacesInIt_SomeLongMessageWithoutSpacesInItSomeLongMessageWithoutSpacesInIt_SomeLongMessageWithoutSpacesInIt\n' + 'SomeLongMessageWithoutSpacesInIt_SomeLongMessageWithoutSpacesInItSomeLongMessageWithoutSpacesInIt_SomeLongMessageWithoutSpacesInIt\n' ) } </script> <input type="button" onclick="clicker()" value="click">

Oh, is that because of the checkbox Firefox adds allowing you to stop the site from showing repetitive alert dialogs? I don't know of a workaround for that, other than having more time in between dialogs so the checkbox doesn't appear.

I looked into the checkbox a long time ago and don't know whether it works the same way it did back then: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=2172671 (different forum)
