User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 If you open a xml file in Firefox having invalid xml, the browser reports xml parsing error as expected. But if you click on the view page source, it shows the xml correctly. It appears that while showing source, it automatically converts that to a well formed xml. To test it, try saving the following xml data in a file and then open it in Firefox. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <root> <child><b>Test child 1</b></child> <child><b>Test child 2</b</child> </root> As you can see that the closing tag </b of Test child 2 is not proper. If you open this xml in Firefox, it gives the following error.... XML Parsing Error: not well-formed Location: file:///c:/test.xml Line Number 4, Column 27: <child><b>Test child 2</b</child> --------------------------^ However if you click on the view page source, it automatically changes that invalid </b tag to the correct one. See below... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <root> <child><b>Test child 1</b></child> <child><b>Test child 2</b></child> </root> Expected Results: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <root> <child><b>Test child 1</b></child> <child><b>Test child 2</b</child> </root>
