<style>*{position:relative}</style><table><input></table>

Basically it's a bug only in IE6, and this piece of code will crash IE6 every time. Firefox, Safari, and IE7 render it properly.

If you want to try it out go to this link, I uploaded it to play around with on a virtual machine. http://picchioni.org/crashie.htm

Ugg, there's so many things wrong with that HTML though. The real question is will something that validates correctly as HTML (http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmark.webdev.oscr.arizona.ed u%2Fmisc%2Fcrashie.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0) and CSS (http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmark.webdev.oscr.arizon a.edu%2Fmisc%2Fcrashie.html) crashes IE, like this:

I mean IE should not be crashing no matter what, don't misunderstand me. IE 6 is the web developer's bane. It has held back progress on good web design and usability for 6 years now, and probably will continue to hold back innovation for another 2 or 3 years still.
