Basicly this simple employees a HEAP of <big> tags and only requires a single closing tag. Someone versions on view will die others require something to activate rendering I assume this could be done via a java script. Proof of concept http://www.lexicon.net/mccann/t.html Mozilla doesn't crash some version my experience high cpu usage while rendering also the layout will be stuffed but it is also a problem with overflowing font sizes. Opera untested. Other untested.
Tried it twice, crashed IE 5.0 (didn't know I still had it on my hard drive) under Mac OS 9 both times and took the whole system with it (OS 9 doesn't have any memory protection etc). Nice work. -- Thomas _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.netsys.com/full-disclosure-charter.html
