The following HTML crashes "almost every version of IE past 4.0":

<html>
<form>
<input type crash>
</form>
</html>


Note that there is nothing special involved, no scripts, just plain HTML.
Expect a patch in a few days.

So I suppose we should all add this to all of our ASP pages:

<%

DIM UserBrowser
DIM IsIE

UserBrowser = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT")
IsIE = InStr(UserBrowser, "MSIE")

IF IsIE <> 0 AND InStr(UserBrowser, "4") THEN

%>

<html>
<form>
<input type crash>
</form>
</html>

<%

ELSE

' Everything else for your page :)

END IF

%>

hehe
