71577 - option tag rendering as text Zope 2.3 management interface

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Dan Pierson]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16 i686; en-US; 0.8.1) Gecko/20010309
BuildID:    2001030913

The Zope 2.3 (CVS checkout of 2.3.1b1+) management interface has a large select
near the top left of the large left frame with a submit button "Add".  In this
and (at least) yesterday's nightly build this select renders as an empty select
followed by the concatenated text of all the option tags.  The exact same form
renders correctly in Mozilla 0.8 and the KDE 2.0 Konqueror.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Start Zope 2.3.x on local machine.
Start Mozilla.
Visit http://localhost:8080/manage
Log in (default is admin:<generated password reported in Zope install>)
Problem appears.

Actual Results:  Upper half of large left frame is an empty select tag follwed
by about
half the screen of cancatenated option tag text followed by the Add button.

Expected Results:  A select drop down followed by an Add button appears in the
upper left corner of the large left frame.

Could you possibly attach the source of that frame using
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/createattachment.cgi?id=71577 ?

You may want to recheck it, there was a problem with comboboxes for the last few 
days, and was recently fixed.

Comments from reporter in email:

Is there a way to save the view frame source window? Otherwise,
unfortunately not because everything in Zope is dynamically generated.
On the good news side, there was a post on the [e-mail] list since
last week that the problem was due to some malformed HTML in the Zope
sources.
There appear to have been two problems that showed up on couple of master
pages:
1. A select that incorrectly ended with />
2. A following option tag that didn't have the trailing </option>
Fixing these does indeed make the problem go away with the reported build.
The bug report for the Zope source is

Marking invalid because this is a bug in Zope's markup, not in Mozilla.
