Well, I tried this in IE11 on Windows 7 x64, all three buttons works. IE11 still works.<p>screenshot: <a href="http://ww4.sinaimg.cn/large/798f7769gw1eceuea9cwhj211i0ox10b.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://ww4.sinaimg.cn/large/798f7769gw1eceuea9cwhj211i0ox10b...</a>
I'm running IE 11 here and couldn't get it to crash, despite clearing the forms, focusing one of the text boxes, and beginning to enter data.
This sounds very much like the bug at <a href="http://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedback/details/808033/ie11-two-reproducible-crashes-on-assigning-the-value-of-an-input-element-with-javascript" rel="nofollow">http://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedback/details/808033/ie11...</a><p>The (surprising) solution is to first assign a space character, then the empty string.<p>So (I'm guessing), in that <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/dahjelle/zVjfY/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/dahjelle/zVjfY/</a> code, change<p>field.value = clearValue;<p>to<p>field.value = ' '; field.value = clearValue;
Well, shit. And for a few short years, it seemed that IE has outgrown its monstrous reputation it had rightfully acquired in the 00s; nope, still the usual "spend enormous time catering to my quirks" IE. This makes me sad.
Tried this and it crashed for me on IE 11.0.9600.16476 (Update Versions: 11.0.2) on Windows 7.<p>Screenshot: <a href="http://i.imgur.com/oSi1rlL.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/oSi1rlL.png</a><p>Steps:<p>- Filled in all fields<p>- Clicked 1st clear button<p>- Clicked in 1st field<p>- Tried to type something
We ran into this in out application the other day, and it's a surprisingly "normal" thing to do to result in a hard crash of a browser.<p>I'm especially curious if anyone knows:<p>1. Is there any hope of this being fixed in the near-term? The MS bug report didn't have much information. I'd sure like to avoid implementing the somewhat crazy workaround if I can help it.<p>2. It seems like this ought to be a pretty widespread problem. Are others seeing it? Are there other workarounds that aren't so ugly?
I was also able to reproduce this on all of the IE 11 instances on <a href="http://browserstack.com" rel="nofollow">http://browserstack.com</a>: Windows 8.1 desktop and metro and Windows 7.<p>I did notice that the crash very occasionally <i>didn't</i> happen the first time, but did, perhaps, the second.
