Why a website causes freeze/crash?

I saw this site in the Langa newsletter today.

http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/36402

I normally browse in Netscape 4.79 (I know it's old). Java script, style
sheets disabled.

This site instantly causes a Netscape freeze, actually got a BDOD in
Windows before exiting it, had to reboot.

Went to the site in Firebird, worked OK.

What is it in webpage coding that can cause this?

It could quite possibly be either;

1. It uses scripting (some browsers can crash even when it's disabled....)
2. The sheer size of the page (it's not exactly small....lol)

Thanks, Steve. A good argument for having several browsers available.

I wish there was a way to know in advance that Netscape won't like that
page, but that's a wish list item somewhere, I guess.

I'm afraid to say, to my knowledge, Netscape is no longer being updated (or
so I've been told).

All that I can see is a java script:

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
<!--//
function quickHelp(which) {
file = "/" + which;
newWin =
window.open(file,"NewWin",'toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,width=450,height=500,resizable=1');
newWin.creator = self
}
//--></SCRIPT>
