Problems with Safari on IOS 4.2 on certain sites

After the upgrade to iOS 4.2, safari on my iPad routinely crashes when I navigate around www.underground.com. Anyone else seeing this problem? Works fine on an iPhone 3G or iPhone 4.

Thanks.

IPad, iOS 4, None

Yes, i am also having the exact problem, with underground.com and other sites. It appears many other people are too. Unfortunately 4.2 appears to be very unstable and is causing multiple problems. Hopefully Apple with publish a solution here soon.

Yep. Every time I go to or try to link from within www. wunderground.com, Safari closes.

It's wunderground.com that crashes Safari. Don't get tricked by the autocorrection of wunderground -> underground.

This is a Safari bug. This site does not crash iCab.

The Op posted www.underground.com not wunderground.com. Either way it didn't crash.

My iPad is crashing on a variety of sites. This morningI crashed at territoryahead.com, not when I first got there, but after browsing a bit. I believe it may be the javascript that caused the crash. I switched to atomicbrowser and completed without further incident.

Try clearing Safari's cache and cookies.

Yes having the same issue on another site. Safari totally crashes when posting to a discussion board. The iPad with OS 3.2 and Safari did just fine on the same site.....

For me wunderground loads the main page, but crashes when I attempt to go any other page on the site.

Clearing the cache and cookies had no effect. It still crashes when selecting the radar on wunderground.com. Does it work for you?

Disabling JavaScript stops Safari crashing on the wunderground site.

Yes, and also most of the functionality of the site is gone as well. Hardly an acceptable workaround for me...
