153108 - URL, testcase hangs browser

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 13350

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Stephane Moureau]

This crash page hangs up chimera (and crashes immediately M$IE 5.2 :-)

That's the last intentional crash URL I'm sending, there are hundreds of them,
if you want me to find other ones who are giving problems to chimera please
email me and I'll do the tests.

Do you notice any particular patterns that contribute to these crashes?  Do
these crashes have to do with the same page elements, e.g. certain html tags or
plugins?  If you can identify what the causes may be, file a crash bug for each
of those causes, attach your crash logs in each of those cases, and specify the
URLs for each, that would be wonderful.

I'll make additional researches on that infizz page.

This one has several items to crash M$IE 5.2 immediately.

Chimera seems to be in "Loading..." I don't know if it's because java is not
enabled (though Java and Javascript are ON in the prefs) or javascript is too
slow or window.open disabled by default.

http://www.red-demon.com/1.html
contains also several items to crash a browser, no page 3.

Attachment: Test Case

Finally figured out which of the tests was crashing and created a testcase.
It's the one labeled "flash crash test." Here's the offending code:

<script>
			var color = new Array;
			color[1] = "white";
			color[2] = "white";
			for(x = 0; x <3; x++)
			{
					document.bgColor = color[x]
					if(x == 2)
					{
							x = 0;
					}		
			}
		</script>

The testcase hung Chimera/20020621, FizzillaCFM/2002061014, and IE 5.2 (4609).

This hung 2002072808 on Windows XP Home Edition.  This is obviously cross-platform.
