Javascript in IE may spoof the whole screen

Systems affected:
IE 5.5/6.0 on Windows, probably earlier versions

[...]


Demonstration:

Image moving over download/open dialog:

BSOD emulation:

Neither of these demonstrations function correctly in IE 5.0; they produce script
error message boxes, reporting that the 'object does not support the requested
method'.  I don't know whether that means IE 5.0 isn't vulnerable or not...
