Google Chrome - Aw, Snap!

Plenty of people have already seen this... interesting... error screen in chrome.

I wanted to see what a run-away script would do to Chrome. There's always a warning that the script is taking too long, giving you a chance to shut it down. Here's what Chrome does...

What is that icon? Is the page COLD or something? It's snowing! It's wearing a scarf! I guess the connection is that the page is "frozen."

EDIT: If I decide to "kill" it, they should have an animation of a spear going through it or something. Is it even acceptable to say you can "kill" the page? :)

Aw, snap!

Hehe, that is so funny. I wonder what that ICON is. Whatever it is, it sure is cold!

Another way this error appears is if CSS-ing this way:

div.someDiv {

    position: relative;

    display:  inline-block; /* IE rendering fix */

}

and putting a "position: absolute" element in that div (like an image screencast.com/.../veUkaghH).

Solution:

Get rid of "inline-block" and use only "display: block".
