A few lines of simple HTML code made Internet Explorer to hang-up. It crashes every single version of IE, from IE6 even up to the latest Internet Explorer 9.

There is nothing special in the code and in all other web browsers the code is working fine. Here is the code.

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">       
#div_1 {        
      margin:0 10px 10px;        
}
#frm_1 {       
      width:100%;        
}
</style>
<title>Html code to crash IE</title>
</head>
<body>
<table><tr><td>
<div id="div_1">
<form id="frm_1">
<input type="text" name="test"/>
</div>
</td><td width="1"></td></tr></table>
</body>
</html>

If you want to try this, just copy-paste this code in notepad and save with .html extension. When you will open this html file in IE a similar scenario can be seen as given below

I hope Microsoft will fixe this bug very soon.
