Thank you for sharing it. It is a useful example.
Haven't seen that variant before - it was fun to play around with. You
should try it in IE6 in quirks mode and try to follow the page downwards...
It's not the "nowrap" itself that causes IE6 to crash - it's a variant
of the "HasNoLayout" bug. IE6 doesn't seem to know what to do when the
"nowrap" are supposed to take effect - so it freezes.
If we give that list a "width:100%" or a height-hack (or some other
"HasLayout"), then the bug is gone (at least in my IE6-version on
win2K-pro).
regards
Georg
