The following stylesheet crashes Netscape 4 below about 4.73. (It definitely doesn’t crash Netscape 4.77.)
Any two of these properties applied to an image will not cause a crash, but
the three together will. Applying these properties to other elements (eg
text elements like P
, SPAN
or FONT
)
do not crash Netscape. Most of the testing for this was done with versions
4.6 and 4.08
.test { margin:0px; /* or any other margin width declaration */ float:left; clear:left; }
Similarly, the combination of width
, float
and
clear
causes a crash in the same versions of Netscape 4.x.
Many thanks to Paul Beakley for spurring me to isolate this particular
version of the bug.
.test { width:40px; /* the units type does not matter, % and ems also crash them */ float:left; clear:left; }CodeBitch
