Code that breaks Internet Explorer
A demo page with an unclosed <form> kills Internet Explorer 7/8/9/10 with varying degrees of fatality.
Interestingly, three years ago this example for IE 7/8 was discussed on MSDN , but came to the conclusion that there is no bug. Since then, IE 9 and IE 10 (early beta) have come out, which loop in exactly the same way. They say that the latest build of IE 10 is already behaving normally.
