A web page that crashes Internet Explorer

In Internet Explorer make sure that you don’t have any important page open. Then open this web page in Internet Explorer. It will crash.

Just in case you don’t have Firefox, here’s the explanation that is written in the web page.

“This page crashes Internet Explorer. Why? Well a simple <span> element crashes Internet Explorer7, and an invalid onload property of <body> in IE6 is sufficient to crash it. “

Pretty scary… Imagine what you can do if you inject the right HTML into an important website… (e.g. in a article comment) Since the required markup to crash IE7 doesn’t even have script on it, it is pretty feasible.
