Hi, I'm new here so I don't know if I posted this in the correct list...
I've found out that some simple CSS-code can crash Netscape 6 and 7. 
This is a simple html-page containing this code:


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.

<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-->
