It's a nice try. Firefox stalled for about 7 seconds, then I closed the Tab.

Sorry. No crash.


Bleh, well it would after a while.

I gave it a try. I have't found anything that will crash this ver. of I.E. right away either :(

I meant I let it stall for 7 seconds AFTER it said "crashing has commenced" - I assume that's when the page has fully loaded and "thinks" its crashing Mozilla.

For a second, I had believe it did. But then, I realized I could still mouse over the close-tab button, which worked like it always does (it closed).
 
it didnt' crash my (fully updated) IE on my XP pro box, nor Firefox on the same machine.

HOWEVER, when I did "view source" in IE, Norton AntiVirus jumped in and denied access to the file, telling me it was a Trojan Horse, with a "High Risk!" warning. Probably this doesn't happen in firefox b/c Norton may not be protecting Firefox... I have to check about that.
 
Whoa, intense recursive algorithm there.

I loaded four layers (cause I have a slow[er] computer than most of you guys, and a slow connection), and Mozilla slowed a bit. Upon closing the window, I got about 4-5 minutes of the spectrum "waiting" bevel circle, and then that was it. Mozilla 1.6 is indestructible!!!

(You have to read that last sentence while listening to the beginning of "This Is The New S***" by M. Manson for full effect.)


BTW: Did anyone else notice that the tile of the thread is: "How to crash IE (win) in one eash step"?
 
haha guess nobody did. Kinda like how we can understand words that have been scrambled (but the first/last letter remain correct). *shrug*
