User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060516 SeaMonkey/1.0.2 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060516 SeaMonkey/1.0.2 The browser doesn't interrupt the following script after a period of time. The user interface becomes unresponsive. <html> dummy <script> document.write(document.getElementsByTagName("html")[0].innerHTML); </script> </html> Reproducible: Always
Related issue: The following code uses 512 MB ram before it gets stopped. I think lower memory limit should be allowed for scripts. <script> x=' '; for (i=0; i<100; i++) x+=x; document.write(x); </script>
