190797 - mark invalid HTML

Build 2003011412

I erroneously put <input class="Text" type="passwordReType" name="password">
instead of <input class="Text" type="password" name="passwordReType">

It is o.k. to me that it defaults to type "text" for the unknown type
"passwordReType" and renders it as such, but when I do a "ViewSource" couldn't
that unknown type be underlined in curly red (like many real-time spell-checkers
do) and if I click on it, I would be directed into some error-database or
knowldgebase (possilby in w3c.org's dtd's etc...)?

see discussion on rather defaulting to "password" instead of "text" for
fail-safe reasons in http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190914 ...

One other example for this is text in a table but not within the bracket of <td>
</td> but misplaced as described in
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190926

viewsource isn't a validator
