When trying to open the page
http://www.rz.uni-frankfurt.de/~fmphyadm/DeskTopPhysik/daten/kap_20/node2.htm
the site is only partionally opened and the find dialog is opened!
NS4 works!

Reproducible: Didn't try

I can see this on linux with the older build 2002042408.

Comment 2

[Olivier Cahagne]

Removing doctype makes the page display in Mozilla (build 2002050404 on Win2k).
-> Tech Evangelism.
The Find Dialog popup is due to window.find, will attach testcase.

Comment 3

[Olivier Cahagne]

Attachment: Testcase that will popup the Find dialog window (bug or feature ?)

Comment 4

[mmc]

Your testcase does not popup the find dialog.

[Andreas Kunz]

I can reproduce this with RC1 (2002041711) on Win2k.
Just opened in new Tab (in the background) and the Find dialog popped up!!
Funny...

Forget my previous comment, the testcase works after I've downloaded it on the
disk (still doesn't work by clicking on the link...)

Comment 7

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Evangelism.  The site is in standards mode (because of the invalid "DE" in the
doctype) and uses lots of extraneous dashes in the comments, so most of the
content is commented out.

Comment 8

[Andreas Kunz]

Attachment: Testcase - file must be named [something].html to work!

Boris: not so sure about that DTD thing.
My testcase has *no* such and is only one line with window.find !!

The important thing is that it has to be saved to a file and called *.html !
My testcase probably won't work by directly clicking on it!

Comment 9

[Andreas Kunz]

And after looking closely my testcase matches the one of Olivier - the important
thing is that it is downloaded (as already mentioned by mc).

But obviously I cannot confirm that "removing doctype makes the page display".
