If you haven't read this until now and are using IE from version 4.0 and up, read this article on Slashdot!

Or, if you can't wait, go here, to crash your Internet Exploder. Haha, are you still using it?  :D

One time I wish I was running Windows ,so I could try to crash Explorer.

One more reason for that remove IE button in XP.

I remember a post about code that could open your CD
drives and now this crashing IE.  what next HTML code that crashes the entire System?  :D

i like it. i should make a sit that sees if you are using explorer, and if you are, redirects you to that page. if not of course, you will be free to wander my site and explore its magical funtivities.

Looks like that it depends on the version of Windows one ir running as well. Nonetheless, it could be a real pain in the ass. For example, try to imagine what this sort of 'trick' could do in HTML-enabled discussion boards.    

PS And all of that with only one line of HTML code.   :eek:

Or, you could set computers at schools or your friends house to that as the home page. Most people would have no clue how to fix that.

It's really simple. Here it is:

Code: [Select]

Notice that it's only the <input> tag and the 'type' attribute that cause the crash. Take it and do what you wish with it. After all, it might take M$ another 7 years before they magically 'patch' this one as well.   :D

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!  ;)

A new record has been set for M$... crash IE in only one line of code! Hahahaha... god damn, that's just hilarious.

Here are some more exploits for IE... I really, really wonder sometimes why people CHOOSE to use IE as their web browser.... I guess they're just uneducated.  ;)

I know the code to make it crash, i meant what ecsyle was talking about. Or maybe instead of redirecting someone I should make a tiny invisible frame that every page has.

This is the bit you need - replace the bold stuff with yours.

Thanks everyone, now to go have some fun    ;)  .

EDIT: I just did some testing, works perfectly. To avoid making a seperate home page I modified the code slightly so that I could put it in every page. Here's what I got:

Code: [Select]
