167075 - Nested Marquee tags not supported.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect)

Description

[Erik Arvidsson]

At one point Mozilla worked correct and allowed nested marquee elements. Now a
nested marquee closes the parent. This is incorrect.

<marquee>Top
<marquee>inner</marquee>
</marquee>

should create the following tree

marquee
   #text
   marque
      #text
   #text

but Mozilla incorrect creates the following tree

marquee
   #text
marque
   #text

Doron! How dare you! This could affect as many as three Chinese sites--clearly a
high priority for us.

[Alex Bishop]

You can nest marquees?!

Comment 6

[Erik Arvidsson]

In IE? YES
In Mozilla? Not any more. This used to work back when I created the marquee xbl.
Now someone has changed the HTML parser to disable this.

I cannot wait until the world switches to XML so that anything that is valid in
the  DTD will be presented in the way inteded. I cannot stand when a browser
does not follow the structure that was intended by the author.

I think this was caused by the patch for bug 154173.
