jQuery crashing IE

I have a website that is crashing internet explorer on certain users computers. I'm lucky enought hat a few people h\ve contacted me to tell me otherwise i wouldnt know anuthing about it.

It doesnt happen on everyones PC so I'm a bit lost as to what is causing IE to crash. The website uses jquery 1.4.2. What is the best way ot trapping the error so i can find out what's going on?

Thanks Al

First, find a computer where you can reproduce the problem. Compare browser versions and Windows versions.

Microsoft has a Script debugger that is actually pretty good once you get it running, but in this case, a more primitive but simple and effective method is to put an alert() into the source code until the point is reached where things crash.

Which version of IE are they seeing the crash on? IE6 is notorious for crashing on even simple css or HTML, such as these:

<style>*{position:relative}</style><table><input></table>

or

<script>for (x in document.write) document.write(x);</script>

I agree with Pekka,

Some code is crashing some IE's, and you need to find where it is.

I suggest alert('bla bla'); method to locate the problem.
