document.write printing on web page

I was just fiddling around with this loop, my question is why does it keep printing to the web page horizontally and other times vertically?

var counter = 1; while ( counter <= 1000000 ) { document.write(counter); counter += 1; }

My assumption would be that there is a max-width for an HTML page and when that limit is hit it may loop and continue on to the next line or weird behavior may occur.

This is an interesting question, and one which I don't have an answer but I thought I would chime into the conversation.
