Easily. Go to this page:

Oh great, so there's more coming?

George, if you think you have found a bug in the browser, a more effective
thing to do than cross-post your amazing discovery to a bunch of irrelevant
newsgroups, is to provide product feedback to MIcrosoft. If you want it
fixed, that is, because they're going to fix it, not us. However, if you
just want to complain about it, let me know so I can put you on my filter.

I don't know if it is a bug. I may be specific to one browser. It may not. It may be specific to the browser in one operating system. It may not. If we called Microsoft to ask them to look into it they would likely ask what operating system is running and what version of Internet Explorer does this occur in. Since I have no idea if that is important to this issue I asked in many places and yes I messed up one went to FPSE group. I also messed up because the multitude of posts has caused anger on the part of some readers which has diverted attention from the issue.

When I reply to a post that has multitude postings I usually address the post in this way. First I give it the ole college try. And then I might comment that the cross-posting was unnecessary. The reason for that is because I have already determined to give the post some attention and then only notice that it was posted to a multitude of newsgroups. I usually don't even notice that until I post as my answer has already been determined by the time I am ready to post.

>> I don't know if it is a bug. I may be specific to one browser. It may
not.

How is posting to win2000.general supposed to help you resolve that?

Look, George, you're an MVP, and you know the basic etiquette rules in place
in all of these groups. You, of all people, should know better than to
cross-post this whining to all of these irrelevant groups. In fact, if you
try to reply to your initial post using Outlook Express, your enthusiasm in
including so many newsgroups comes to the forefront very quickly:

---------------------------
Outlook Express
---------------------------
The newsgroup 'microsoft.public.wind' could not be resolved
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Once again. If you think it's a bug, send product feedback!

If you have an issue implementing sample code from the knowledge base, a
FrontPage newsgroup isn't the place to announce it! That article was last
reviewed in November of 2002. Did you consider, even for a second, hitting
the "Provide us with feedback on this article" link? Or posting to the
private knowledgebase.discussion newsgroup?

I'm going to suggest to the leads that we once again review the appropriate
venues for providing feedback / bitching about this product or that, or some
KB articles, or the MSDN web site.

Telling a bunch of irrelevant newsgroups how to reproduce it isn't exactly a
productive way of getting the problem fixed! This also worked for a while:

<input type=crash>

But I didn't see that cross-posted to just about every newsgroup under the
sun.

Never mind that Browscap is awful and should have been deprecated ages ago.

Doesn't crash here ... IE 5.01 SP3.

Something I found (can't remember where now, it was ages ago) is to put
<input type crash> into a form (note the lack of an = sign). It just
happens to crash IE browsers - well, at least 5.01 and 5.5, thats what I've
tested it on.

Hmm interesting. Years ago there used to be posts (not here) that when you clicked on the link it would crash Windows 2000. In fact any Microsoft Windows product. At that time I didn't know enough to pull the page up in a FTP client so never did figure out how they did it.

I thought browscap's issue was performance. I didn't realize it was also incompatibility. Who knows though? One person had tried the example and told me the version of IE he was using. I assume he was saying Windows 2000 SP3 which with IE 5.01 that means SP4 for that browser. Also that article was specific to IE 5.01. Furthermore do you know where that article came from? It came from WROX. So it's not all that weird. Microsoft fixed it up some but it looks to still be dangerous in Windows 2000 SP3 IE 5.5 SP2. In fact I think the browser will crash even if there is no call to browscap.dll. It's the format of the <!-- ... type="cookie" ... ->

That's all nice and everything, but you're still avoiding the issue and
you're still cross-posting to irrelevant groups. Use the feedback link on
the KB article!

As several other people have noted, this has little or nothing to do
with FrontPage extensions - next time you reply, do you think you could
just delete irrelevant newsgroups from the "To" line?
