Crash IE6 with one line of code

Aug 7th, 2007 by Jared Schwager

Here’s just another example of how terrible Internet Explorer 6 is. Using one line of HTML code, you can crash IE6. This little gem was found by a Japanese blogger by the name of Hamachiya2. The code needed to crash IE6 is as follows:

<style>*{position:relative}</style><table><input>

Luckily this bug has been fixed in IE7. Firefox, Safari, and Opera are also all immune to this line of code. Please use this code for good and not evil!
