I have found a bug which will freeze Internet Explorer 5.0 I know that there are *many* bugs that will crasch browsers but what makes this one special is the following: In IE 5.0 Microsoft has fixed the bugs from IE 4.0 that was based on infinit loops in JavaScript. If a JavaScript contains a loop which will cause IE 5.0 to run slowly or be unresponsive, the user will be warned and he/she will be prompted whether the JavaScript should be aborted or not. This exploit is a JavaScript which changes the bgColor in an infinit loop and when you open it you wont get a warning. The browser will just freeze!
