User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910 If a page has an unnecessary "<frameset cols="*"> in it, some of the remaining frames fail to appear. While I suspect that the tag in question is unnecessary and that the web page in question is probably buggy, Netscape 4.79 does render the page as expected. Ideally Mozilla would be more forgiving of erroneous web pages written this way. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the "broken" attachment Actual Results: Page is divided into two frames, a small top frame holding the mozilla.org feedback page and a large blank frame at the bottom. Expected Results: A small top frame holding the feedback page. The bottom frame holds two side-by-side frames, the left the mozilla.org at a glance page, and the right the mozilla.rog home page. Originally encountered with Mozilla 1.0.1. Reproduced with Mozilla 1.2a (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910). An HTML testcase will be attached momentarally.

This example is likely not entirely valid HTML, but represents a distilled version of a live page I encountered. (The original has since been corrected when I pointed out the problem, so I can't link to it.)

Reproduced using nightly Linux build downloaded from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-installer.tar.gz on 2002-10-09. The webserver identified the downloaded file as having been last touched 2002-10-04. This version of Mozilla identifies itself as "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021008" and gives a Build ID of 2002100808 I also failed to note in my initial remote, in the testcase I attached, if you delete the line marked "<frameset cols="*" > <!-- This line is the guilty party -->" Mozilla renders be page as expected. I believe that the line may be bogus HTML, but represents usage found in the wild.

<frameset rows="120,*"> <frameset cols="*" > <!-- This line is the guilty party --> <frame SRC="http://www.mozilla.org/feedback.html"> <frameset cols="220, *"> <frame SRC="http://www.mozilla.org/mozorg.html"> <frame SRC="http://www.mozilla.org/" name="frame2"> </frameset> </frameset> </frameset> That's two frames. 120px tall and rest of space. In top frame, we have a frameset taking all width. In bottom frame we have nothing. Now in this top frameset we have a frame (which takes up the one col allocated) and a frameset which was not given a col and hence should not be rendered...

From the above comment this should be either forwarded to evangalism or marked invalid. But first sending it to evangalism.

um... there's nothing here to evangelize. There is no site.
