title: Why does this HTML crash IE?
body: <p>I have a page that causes IE 8 to crash. I've dumbed it all the way down to just the html/javascript that causes the crash.
  I know I'm going to have to do something different for displaying the page how I want in IE without breaking it. Is anyone aware of a way that I can report this to the IE team to get it fixed?</p>
  
  <p>The crash happens when you mouse over the span. Create a scratch .html file to test. Using jsfiddle doesn't crash it.</p>
  
  <p>Update: Make sure IE isn't in compatibility mode to get it to crash.
  Update2: It crashes in safe mode too, so it isn't an add-on causing the problem. I have tried it on multiple computers.</p>
