I know that. I worked on developing Morfik when it was still being developed, 
back in 2007 or 2008, exactly because it was FPC based.

The whole Morfik architecture was the inspiration for starting the pas2js effort.

But we are now a step further: the compiler itself runs in the browser.
Morfik never got to that stage.

And that is why this is a major milestone for me.

It works from here, I just tried. I even compiled 2 programs in succession. 
What browser are you using ? I use firefox. I'll try chrome as well.

I had a similar report from a spidermonkey user, maybe you are using
spidermonkey too ?
