37012 - browser incorrectly displays text

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 35772

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[nylj2]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; m15)
BuildID:    2000041805

On ESPN's website at http://espn.go.com/nba/ , the text on the right-most column
(under "Headline News") should be a bulleted list. In Mozilla, there are no
bullets or line breaks to divide each news report.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://espn.go.com/nba/ in Mozilla
2. Scroll down to see the "Headline News" section on the right side.

Actual Results:  The text in the left-most column is incorrectly displayed
(missing bullets)	

Expected Results:  Display bullets for the text the way it appears in Netscape
4+ and Internet Explorer 4+.

The source of this site (http://espn.go.com/nba/) shows that the OL tag is not
being used to create the bulleted text, instead a Class is being used. It could
have something do to with displaying CSS.

the site uses <p></p>, no bullets at all. ns4.72 shows no bullets as well. Is
that legal html?

I dont see bullets either, but i cut that cells code into a simple testcase.  
IE displays the links with spaces inbetween, but looking at the code <p></p> 
you would think nothing should happen, not even a <br>. I guess someone needs 
to decide which way is correct.

The original bug claimed the text should be bulleted, which is erroneous because 
there are no list elements here. The *intent* of the bug was to pointout a 
vertical whitespace bug. <p></P> is included in the markup to force a linebreak, 
but none is appearing. Reassing to the hardest working man in snow business.

page relies on empty P's, it's a dup of 35772, fix already in hand, to be 
checked in tomorrow if the tree is healthy

SPAM. HTML Element component deprecated, changing component to Layout. See bug
