Browser Test

Hey All,
A few years ago I had a shtml page which crashed most every browser. It would also completely crash win 95 and win 98 systems, requiring a reboot. This was heaps of fun especially when someone annoyed me on irc or icq. I dunno if it will still crash browsers and systems. I tried it again tonight on my linux box running firebird 1.0. It didn't crash the browser or the box. I got a firebird message saying that I should close the page or seriously slow the browser performance.

For those who are brave and want to test their browser ... here's my page:
hashbangs browser fun page

Let me know how it turns out. It would be interesting to see if the windows systems can now cope with the page and not require a reboot.

cheers

Am I the only brave person here or is it just that no-one else has read this yet? Anyway I am running the latest version of Opera on Windows XP and it did absolutely nothing to either my browser or Windows. Sorry to dissapoint you but you're gonna have to redesign you're crashing page

Darren? Darren? Where did you go???
Rebooting???

hehehe, seriously, I'm not surprised. Like I said this was about three years ago (IE 4 and 5 I think). SO if that doesnt work anymore, does anyone have any webpage scripting that will crash a computer nowadays?

cheers

This test uses about a dozen common pieces of code which test browser bugs. If this crash test crashes your browser, you should upgrade it. You may be at this page because you are choosing to test your browser, or maybe just because the hashbang doesn't like you.

Trying invalid JPEG Crash (NS 4.5+)... FAILED

I found this site which has two very simple pieces of code, one that is supposed to crash Internet explorer and the other which is supposed to crash Mozilla. I don't know whether or not they actually work though, as they are both from some time in 2003.

Firefox on Mac runs fine, it pops up a dialogue which says 'a script is causing firefox to run slowly, wanna kill the script?'

and you say yes.

Hey darren,
Neither of those codes crashed my firefox either. How about if we set up a challange to see who can design, create, find html code which will crash firefox 1.0? Anyone game to take up the challenge?

Happy coding ...

Eeek. Safari died. On a Mac. But the rest of my programs were fine, just quitted Safari and restarted it again to post this...

Oh well, always knew Safari wasn't the best browser around, I just like using it. Fun though!

I didnt crash with my firefox 1.0. I really like this browser! The perfect replacement for the Internet Explorer.
Also the opera is one of my favorite browser. Has many useful features, I have to say! It just has some errors for some websites

I have just found a site which has a description on how dto crash Mozilla Firefox but I can't find a quick link to a page that actually crashes it and as I have g2g in a minute I don't have time to test it. The site is http://www.exubero.com/mozcrash.html . I will test it later if nobody else tests it first.
