Crash Internet Explorer 6 & 7 with a Single Click

[-Job-]

At work i accidently created some Javascript that crashes Internet Explorer 6 & 7. I decided to put it on a page so that anyone can crash their IE by clicking a button. It's interesting because it doesn't use an infinite loop or anything like that, it's just a straight crash.

This does nothing to the latest Internet Explorer 7, at least for me.

Mmm, i can't crash IE7SP2. SP2 is actually pretty hard to crash, it seems.

I suppose that's good for Microsoft then. Lots of people criticize the company for ignoring the mistakes they made in their products when new releases come out.

Hmm. Very cool.

Be careful about using the 'Powered by Microsoft' graphic on a website not maintained or owned by above corporation.

Thanks I like it

Would anyone know why IE hang when used with LAMP stuff? (LAMP, for anyone unfamiliar, is Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP based apps) I have random problems which always seem to involve IE but can crash other apps too. Joomla is good at it, on exit or closing an admin page and MSIE goes into rigour.

Rdx, whether IE crashes or not does not depend on using LAMP. The client code is entirely independent.

There is a note in the docs of one package, phpAdmin or something that mentions a bug in MSIE that is provoked by Apache and PHP, or some such. I have had such crashes, hanging MSIE and crashing Linux and/or MySQL at the same time. Should I believe you or my own eyes? :)

All the browser sees is Javascript & Html, so it doesn't really matter what you're using on the server side.
