Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060303 Firefox/1.6a1 If you visit the url in the URL field (iExploder test 10050419), the browser crashes. Found using http://toadstool.se/software/iexploder/ TB15947641Q, TB15947662G.
Attached file testcase
Reduced test case. The source is <head></head><object><select> a<base>
The test case crashes like this: TB15947740Q, TB15947772Y, TB15947806M.
Keywords: testcase
This is from iExploder test 10123392, looks a bit similar <head></head><object><style=""> <dt> <table>
Summary: Crash with iExploder test 10050419 → Crash with iExploder test 10050419 [@ js_AllocStack]
Another iExploder test (10731007) <head></head><object><a> a<pre><base>
testcase2 (attachment 214069 [details]): TB15948024K, TB15948109H testcase3 (attachment 214070 [details]): TB15948038K, TB15948097Z I'm not sure if these are the same crash. Does this have something to do with the <object> tag?

These look like more problems resulting from allowing <object> to be head content.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
I claim that the reward for allowing <object> in <head> is not worth the complexity that it imposes on the DTD. As far as I know, no other browser allows it, and it's causing crashes like this and bug 328751. As much as everybody loves the HTML4 spec, this is a place where deviating seems like more of a win than not. Is there any noticeable difference to users or site authors in doing this?

If IE doesn't do this, then sure. What the heck.
