See Internet Explorer crash

by Volker Weber

It only takes this code:

<html>
<form>
<input type>
</form>
</html>

Try it >

To make this a fair game, this invalid code will crash Mozilla:

<html>
<fieldset style="position:fixed;">
<legend>Crash</legend>
</fieldset>
</html>

Try it >

It seems like even <input type> is enough. It's things like that make me love working in the software business. ;)

Right. Fixed that. KISS. :-)

Opera 7.10 handles both cases without problems...

I liked the "to make this a fair game"-part!
