[thelist] NN4.x: Repeated document.write NG with inline styles

[Bill Haenel]

Anyone know why the following JavaScript crashes NN4.x?

   <script language="JavaScript">
      document.write('<div style="margin-bottom:5px;">Line 1</div>');
      document.write('<div style="margin-bottom:5px;">Line 2</div>');
   </script>

But this works fine:

   <script language="JavaScript">
      document.write('<div>Line 1</div>');
      document.write('<div>Line 2</div>');
   </script>

And this also works fine:

   <script language="JavaScript">
      document.write('<div style="margin-bottom:5px;">Line 1</div>');
   </script>

Please also note that changing the value in the style attribute made no
difference. It hangs the loading of the page after the first div is
written and in fact renders the browser unable to load any subsequent
pages from any other site. It also (in Windows) causes a process to hang
open which must be forced to quit before trying to use the browser
again!

Generally speaking, users didn't like this "feature" of our site very
much.

Thanks,
Bill
