Crashing IE for fun and profit

Make a new html page and put this in it:

<STYLE></style>@;/*

Yes, that's it. Open it and it will crash!

Hehe…

Until recently, you could crash Gecko browsers by giving display: table; CSS to the HTML element.

All browsers have these little quirks, so I don’t really use it against IE users.

yeah, well it's not easy to program anything that has to parse text, especially stuff as advanced as html and css. It's not super hard to code html and css itself, but programming something that can parse it, is a whole new level of advancement.
