SYMPTOMS
In the DHTML editor of Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (SP1), when the text in the DHTML editor is a link, and the pointer is at the end of the link text, Internet Explorer may unexpectedly close (crash) when you try to exit the page. You may also receive a &quot;General Protection Fault&quot; error message on the Dhtmled.ocx file.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, add a blank space (press SPACE BAR) after the last character in the link in the Control box in the DHTML editor before you exit the Web page.
