> I just did the test also in IE8(english) on XP. Browser crashed

Fascinating! And I'd forgotten about my wife's computer, which also
has the magic combination (XP + IE8), and when I go to Properties on
the API page, it also crashes. Color me surprised.

But it's not *any* page using Prototype. Naturally the first thing I
did having replicated it with the API page was to try another, and it
didn't happen there. So it's something about that page (which isn't to
say the page is unique).

Joy, I'd recommend reporting[1] this bug to Microsoft. (Anything that
crashes their browser is a bug they need to know about.) Then I'd
submit a ticket[2] on the Prototype bug tracker giving that Microsoft
bug number/link. The Prototype core team may choose to find out what's
causing it and work around it until/unless Microsoft fixes it.
