Once this page has loaded, moving the mouse over one of the URL links under "Departmental Information", eg. "undergraduate", causes Mozilla to freeze.
BTW, this is with Mozilla 2000030313
Wow... the HTML of that page is really screwed up. There are approximately 40 nested <small> and </small> tag pairs around some of it. Eugh. I wonder if: <META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="Microsoft Word 97"> could be the reason? ;-) Test case attached with as many <small>s removed as possible while keeping a hard crash. Remove a few more and it crashes less severely, a few more than that and it works OK. Strange. Also, removing the FONT tag also stops it crashing. Gerv

This might be related to 29515 (both crash on mouseover links, but have very different code). Is that just because mouseover links causes a reflow?
that's just ugly. updating component and owner.
