Hello everyone!

I made a simple html file with an input with field and defined 

value="1,000,000 x's here"
size="1000000"
maxlength="1000000"

and loaded it up in ie6.... my CPU utilization went straight up to
100%
and after a few minuted the status bar had Not Responding in it and I
had to close the IE window down with the task manager..

I tested this on a PII 300mhz with 178 mb ram under WindowsXP
Professional with IE6 with the latest hotfixes...

Can anyone else reproduce this or is it just that my system is out
dated
;-)
