Re: this link kills my browser dead, gone, wiped out

Robert,

it is indeed a well known bug in Netscape's CSS implementation.
It was fixed in a later release.
The document is perfectly valid, but it triggers this particular bug.

A new updated HTML4 spec is in the works, to address a few typos
and other errata in the original spec. Hopefully a workaround will
be found for this problem.

In the mean time, and as much as I hate to say this, the only reasonable
solution I can offer is to upgrade your browser to a more recent
version.

thanks for your report,

best regards,

 - Renaud
