User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

egroupware is a fork of phpgroupware which features among others a calendar.
this calendar offers a "group planner" which renders well in ie but freezes both
mozilla firebird 0.7 as well as netscape 7.1 on windows.  disabling javascript
has not resolved the problem, although i did get to see a bit more of the page.
egroupware.org offers a demo which has this group planner as its startpage, so
it's currently quite easy to test this. should that demo be updated, i could
install a demo myself, if necessary.
(i have confirmation for these problems on windows and will be able to check
using linux versions of mozilla as well as firebird 0.7 in a few days.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.visit http://www.egroupware.org/egroupware/
2.log in as user: demo , password: guest
3.change to calendar, group planner if it is not already open (currently
configured as startpage)

Actual Results:  
both mozilla-firebird 0.7 and netscape 7.1 froze.

Expected Results:  
ie renders this page well enough. i would have expected mozilla to do the same.

filing as "critical" since the browser freezes.
i don't seem to have talkback-enabled builds available, i'll try to provide
additional data once i do.

Attachment: html source of relevant page

visiting the page would crash windows-based builds. providing html source
retrieved with other browser.

Comment 2

might the problem be caused by code like the following excerpt?

<TD colspan="4290214329">&nbsp;</TD>
		<TD colspan=345602

similar attributes can be found several times when browsing the html source.

removing the large colspan from the source fixes the issue
