I think I have found by chance this weekend a security bug,while browsing the website news, within iexplorer on all windows versions.
I haven't enough knowledge (and don't want) into web browsers security to conduct a full investigation, at least,
I took the source of the webpage and with a simple split method on the html code, it's now reduce to some line of html code and a .css file to trigger the bug.
And by the way the crash looks like to happen each time now instead of sometimes while browsing the affected website.


my tests(updated to 01 Nov. 2005):

note: haven't attempted to reduce the size of the .css , so it's prolly possible to split it and to find what into the .css file, in addition of the 6 html lines , is causing this crash.

Passing the work to browser's experts..
