Affects: Safari 3.1/Win, 4.0 Beta/Win (readers report that this feature isn't available on the Mac)
The window.prompt() function when it first became available would allow a user to add 1 (one) line of text as an input value using a modal dialog supplied by the browser.
It turns out though, that Safari now allows users to enter more than one line of text (Enter is treated as a request for a carriage return, not to accept the value and submit the dialog).
I don't consider this a bug, but rather an enhancement to the existing dialog. (In Safari's case, it could do with a scrollbar, since it does allow more than the 3 lines it visually displays)
However this is something that developers will want to be aware of... that line breaks should be expected in the return value from the prompt call.
