/** A Netscape3-specific way to generate an HTML page
 *  on-the-fly and pass it to the browser. Simply
 *  generate a URL of the form
 *  "javascript:'[Entire HTML Page]'"
 *  and call showDocument on it. Note that there should
 *  not be any carriage returns or single quotes in
 *  the string. Using netscape.javascript.JSObject is
 *  a much more robust approach.
