  1. <!-- Because I am so enamored by browser flaws (for some unknown reason) I have added an exploit I found on the web, that shows how to create a CSS table that crashes a remote user's browser. IE suffers from a DoS vulnerability in which a remote user's Internet Explorer session can be crashed when hovering their cursor over a specially made table. The fault occurs when the "position" CSS attribute is set to a table cell. This results in an 'unhandled exception in iexplorer.exe(MSHTML.DLL)'. This fault is found in Internet Explorer version 6.0.2900 SP2 and prior -->
