NOTE: This is *PROBABLY* a CSS problem, but the change I made included a bit of Perl, and let's face it - most people here are smarter than most people on web developer forums. :)

While I've got the mind to tell people to give M$ the finger and switch to Firefox, I've got to think about people not blessed with an imagination. okay, here it goes.

My site: http://dynamic5.gamespy.com/~japangaming

There's one page in particular that I made a VERY small change to. An example of the production page is:
http://dynamic5.gamespy.com/~japangaming/game_information.cgi?system=dreamcast&base=borderdown
The updated URL would be:
http://dynamic5.gamespy.com/~japangaming/game_information_beta.cgi?system=dreamcast&base=borderdown

The only difference is the "view high res" link, below the games description. To get this, I added the following: 
use Image::Size; // new  module to get jpg size
( $pic_x, $pic_y, $pic_type ) = imgsize( $pic_loc );
if ( $pic_x > $pic_width ) {
     $large = "true";
}

if ( $large eq "true" ) {
     print "<a href=\"$link_server/game_scan.cgi?system=$system&base=$
+base\">View High Res<br>\n";
}

[download]
The result, is that IE almost always crashing when loading this page. Firefox? Never. If not on load, then if you go to the "view high res" link, and then either click the return button on your browser, or the "return" image link on the page, it will almost definitly crash. I'll throw in a few examples of other games' URLs just in case.

I cannot for the life of me figure this out. I even stuck the module in the production version, and ran the line of code which examines the jpgs, just to make sure they were n't mucking up the works, and from what I can tell, they're not.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
GP
