Seems like we're just trying to pick on IE here.
- BobPalmer 14y agoI'd agree. On a side note, took me about ten seconds of googling to find HTML/Javascript that reliably crashes firefox (but does not crash IE8). I expect Chrome would have similar cases where there could be something that causes crashes (at least, there are bug reports asserting this). (FYI here's some HTML/JS for the Firefox bug... Resizing the browser caused the issue to manifest in Win7 with FF 13.0.1:) <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd> http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml> http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml> <head> <title>Test</title> <script type="text/javascript"> window.onresize = function () { alert("gg"); }; </script> </head> <body> </body> </html> (edited to acknowledge that this is a JS bug). And for the downvotes, at least provide a reason and/or a discussion.
- jonny_eh 14y agoWhile close, it's a bit different since JS is needed to crash the browser. The interesting thing about the IE bug is that no JS is required.

- kyberias 14y agoAre people really downvoting because you pointed out that other browsers have bugs too? Amazing!
- khuey 14y agoUh yeah, it's really easy to find code that crashes browsers with open bug trackers. Just go search them.
