Re: IE Crashes on this medical website?

Ooops, and forgot to note that yours was using version 6.0.2800.1555 of
mshtml.dll.

So I guess there's no point in my looking further into other versions of
Mshtml.dll, since evidently the problem is not simply due to that DLL file,
but it ends up there.

So there is apparently something else at work here. Interesting....

Just went there with my default browser from www.offbyone.com

Loaded in almost no time, no crashes, nothing. I can't watch
videos with Ob1 but everything else worked. If I wanted the
videos, I would use Opera. It's the best browser, period. You
can disagree but you will be wrong. (I prefer offbyone because
of a variety of advantages like incredible speed and no Java or
swf crap. But that's me.)

WHY ANYONE would use IE/OE after all that is now common
knowledge to almost everyone - let alone anyone who visits
Usenet help groups - is totally beyond me.
