Depending on what version you're using, there is an option to keep all new instances in new processes or something. Used to be in Tools > Internet Options > Advanced but I can't find it today. -- Andrew.

Does anybody know whats happened on this forum? Every time I pick it from the message boards page it blows up my IE. FYI: I already tried doing the hated delete the cache and all cookies.
Yup, I get it too. Why do I get the feeling that this didn't just 'happen' on it's own.:wtf:

it's because of this code:
<STYLE>p{cssText: font-weight: bold;}</STYLE>in soptest's post 'IE Bug' X| (view-source:http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/forums.asp?forumid=1647Cheers,

You got there before me, but you also knew how to post it safely, thanks :)

OK apparently soptest is correct because it works fine with Netscape 6. Cant say that I am impressed :(
Of course soptest is correct. Soptest planted it in the forum. Look in your Web Page Cache, open http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/forums.asp?forumid=1647 Do a search for <STYLE>p{cssText: font-weight: bold;}</STYLE>. You'll see that it was posted by soptest. If you take out the invalid STYLE tag the page works just fine. Logically it kind of makes sense for it to blow: As the HTML is parsed it runs across the STYLE tag, when its contents are parsed its contents are assigned to the cssText property but of course this is invalid data. And the normal checks that prevent the bug from happening in javascript aren't applied because its MSHTML doing the work. This is all theoretical speculation of course....

Actually I would think it considerate of you to delete the post so that those of us who like that forum can continue to view it. :)

Alright, I cleaned it up, and we'd all appreciate it if you didn't continue to post it all over the site. I'm sure Chris will add some code to filter it out in an hour or two. David http://www.dundas.com

Yeah I hate it when you have multi Instances of IE open and they all die on you like that. You'd think they could have installed a reset feature in IE to stop that. Darn programmers Regardz Colin J Davies

He should at the very least have the ability to post HTML revoked, no?

After closing all IE windows, a background process called IEXPLORE.exe would crash four times. Then the name iexplore.exe disappeard from the task manager. Maxwell Chen Lets make bugs better!

I was very tempted, but then noticed that he had posted 2 seemingly well regarded articles... So I decided to hold off, give the guy a chance to change his behavior and talk to Chris about it. David http://www.dundas.com

and I thought it was just me. I've cleaned everybit of IE cache and cookies, cleared disk space, send about 20 error reports from IE to MS. Still crashed like a bitch, so I went to bed. I assumed it was my machine but obviously something must be rendering problem as the crash is in mshtml.dll (why won't MS ship debug info with their apps :-( ) Michael :-) "Eureka" is Greek for "This bath is too hot"

As far as I'm concerned, breaking of CP should be a a capital offence. Give him the chair :-D Michael :-) "Eureka" is Greek for "This bath is too hot"

Man , You shouldn't blow the C++ forums ! If you did known the bug, simply send a email concerning the vulnerability to Chris. This is a lack of respect for the CPians! I hope that your dark hacker side disappears since this kind of behaviour isn't acceptable. I happen to like a lot about security, but I don't show off this way like you did . Please re-think seriously your action! You in the COM forums have been of great help for a lot of CPians , but Chris and David could bann you the next time . Take care.
