Internet Explorer Warning

Geek Stuff Add comments

INTERNET EXPLORER USERS! DON’T CLICK HERE!

There’s a bug that causes Internet Explorer (versions 4 and up) to crash when confronted with the following lines of HTML:

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

Apparently the bug’s been around awhile, but I just noticed it in a bunch of different sites today. I wonder how long it will take Microsoft to issue a Windows Update for this?

Really, the evil side of me is tempted to put the link above into all the pages on my site, given all the extra work I had to do to kludge my site design so it would like right in IE. Give people some extra incentive to upgrade to Firefox.
