I added jQuery Crash support for crashing IE6.
But after testing I felt it was a little too evil.

Seeking feedback.

Patch attached.

jQuery Crash is dual licensed. It's not specific which GPL version it is so I think someone who knows more about licensing than me should comment.

Hmm yeah, I dunno the best way to go about this. Probably wouldn't be a good idea to distribute the crash code with this module?

danielb: As it's dual licensed and Drupal has other dual licensed code included (jQuery) I don't think it's a problem. Is there another reason not to include jQuery Crash plugin with misery?

I might just do this

    case 'crash_ie6':
      drupal_add_js('for (x in document.write) { document.write(x);}', 'inline');
      break;

seems like a lot of effort to include 2 js files for 1 line of code.
