This code crashes ie9 as i am having this problem in my code .. any work around will be appreciated .. This is not a problem with the previous versions of ie .. Thanks ..
This seems to be a bug in IE9.
Changing display:none to visibility:hidden, you will see the text flash continuously.
display:none
visibility:hidden
The only think I can think of is the IE gets stuck in an infinite loop or a stackoverflow.
Sorry, that I can't provide a solution.
