HTML tag that crashes IE!

[Tool-Of-The-System]

My friend just showed me this earlier, and I want to show it to the rest of you guys.

For some reason, the scripting for web pages, HTML, has a tag in it that actually causes Internet Explorer to crash.

Put this on an HTML file and remember to replace the brackets in here with the regular HTML brackets ( > & < )
[html]
[form]
[input type crash]
[/form]
[/html]

Would anyone happen to know why they made that command? If not, tell what you think about it.

What the fuck is this? Are you people ignoring me again? -.-

Whoa...I didn't believe you but I tried anyway, and yeah - it crashed. That's nutty. I searched MSDN for info on it but couldn't find any.

Yup, it's real alright. For those who wanna see what happens (nothing bad other than closing your IE window) go here.

I'd try it myself if Stuporman and others didn't already do so...and if I wasn't trying to get more publicity for my site....

Is it specific to using "crash" as the input type, or does using any non-valid word crash it? Like if you used "input type ketchup", would that crash it too, or just not work at all?

Anyway want to have some serious HTML fun, learn about Dynamic Images.

You can do some interesting things with it, way more interesting than the input: crash thingy.

I know you can create dynamic images through PHP, and you can change text and images around with CSS filters...but I've never heard of HTML "dynamic images".

I personally like this .....

[SCRIPT language=VBScript]
[!--

Set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7" )
Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection

if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then
For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1
colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject
Next ' cdrom
End If

[/SCRIPT]

Actually this link:

http://www.secunia.com/advisories/8642/

explains the situation better. The <input type crash> has to be altered to make any of the vulnrable apps to crash, so whoever said that it crashed their shit is full of it.

[RazorBladez]

yay. i use opera, no problem. didn't crash at all.

What the hell are you talking about? If you have Internet Explorer, try it, and you'll see it crash. Nothing has to be "altered". The link you gave even explains it. Do you know how to read properly, or are you just stupid?
