Crashing IE

Geffy · 2 May 2003

If you put the following code into a webpage and internet explorer renders the page then the user will get a "Unhandled exception in iexplore.exe (SHLWAPI.DLL): 0xC0000005: Access
Violation" error

PHP:

<html>
<form>
<input type crash>
</form>
</html>

It doesn't crash because you put "crash" in there. It crashes because you did not give a value to "type" You can change "crash" to anything you want and it will do the same thing. If you set "type=crash" it does not crash.

Sorry to burst your bubbles guys.

even if you can change it, the code given is still a "working example" so to speak
