MSHTML.dll error

[Brian Flounders]

I am using Windows XP with IE6 (SP2). My browser keeps crashing on my
page that uses Javascript to send information between frames - and to
refresh those pages. There is a form on one half of the page and data
on the other frame. You click the data, it is sent into the form.
You makechanges, hit submit and the other frame with the data is
changed.

It works fine for a random ammount of clicks, but after about 5, IE
crashes with the following error:

Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We
are sorry for the inconvenience. (For more info -->)

More Info
---------
App Name: iexplore.exe
AppVer: 6.0.2800.1106
ModName: mshtml.dll
ModVer:6.0.2800.1400
Offset 00036ae9

There is a whole bunch of technical data I can inlcude if it helps.
Does anyone know what the problem is? I tried reregistering the DLL
files (mshtml, etc) and it didn't help. I took off MS Speech
Recognition and that didn't work (based on a suggestion I found to
someone with a not-very similar problem).

Is there a known error with using Javascript (particularly
location.href) between frames? I would like to post a link to the
page if it is needed, but I will have to take off the data from the
site - so let me know if you need it to look more deeply into the
problem.

I really appreciate any suggestions!

USENET newsgroups but I don't believe my answer is relevant to the
javascript NG anyway]

ModName: mshtml.dll
ModVer:6.0.2800.1400 ....
There is a whole bunch of technical data I can include if it helps.

You are crashing in the most recent version of mshtml.dll
Previously such crashes have been thought associated with
incompatible third-party programs such as the Yahoo Companion toolbar.

You might get some more clues from the drwtsn32.log
which could show you what other modules were involved,
e.g. the crashing module's callers.

Find the failing task and extract the Stack Back Trace for it.
E.g. for an English version of Windows do a find up (from the bottom)
for FAULT -> then page ahead to the Stack Back Trace.
You should see in the interpreted portion on the right column
some of the names entry point names being called.
Often the mnemonic value in those entry point names is enough
to give you some insight about how the crash occurred and perhaps
enable you to devise a circumvention.

In any case having a set of module names can be useful as something
specific to check, e.g. for version conflicts between them.
