Here's a reason <A HREF="http://vibrantlogic.com/new.html" target="_new">why</A>.

Please use a MUCH better, stable, and secure Web browser like <A HREF="http://www.mozilla.org" target="_new">Mozilla</A>, <A HREF="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/phoenix/" target="_new">Firebird (former Phoenix)</A>, or <A HREF="http://www.opera.com" target="_new">Opera</A>.

Don't click on the link it just crashes IE. It'll crash almost any version of IE. It's a single line of html and I think it was put in to test with and wasn't taken out.

OOoo Look I'm a member! Do I get Privleges now? Where's the secret decoder ring?

You can read more about the bug <A HREF="http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=9288" target="_new">here</A>, <A HREF="http://www.secunia.com/advisories/8642/" target="_new">here</A>, and <A HREF="http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/319360/2003-04-20/2003-04-26/0" target="_new">here</A>. This bug (or feature) not only affects MS Internet Exploiter, but also the following MS software:

- Windows Explorer
- Outlook
- Outlook Express
- Frontpage

The crashes on all those softaware are caused by a single line of HTML:
<pre><input type crash></pre><p>So sad for anyone who was working on something important.

No, it was not "put in there to test with". You can put any variable after <i>input type</i>, such as "IE sucks" and the same thing will happen. The reason IE and other applications crashes is because of null pointer with the variable type. It should be type=SOMETHING. But if it is missing, all hell brakes loose. Fortunately, Linux, Mac OS, and every other OS is not affected.
