426865 - Object HTML tag not displayed correctly

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Guy Badman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008032620 Firefox/3.0b5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008032620 Firefox/3.0b5

In firefox 2.0.0.12 the web page at http://www.badguy.myzen.co.uk/photos/index3.html is displayed correctly - the Data element of the Object html tag causes a second web page to be displayed inside the first. However Firefox 3 Beta 5 shows the alternate text instead. It looks like the parsing of the Object HTML tag has been broken.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit website with FF3B5
2. Note "click here" text rather than the gallery

Actual Results:  
"Click Here" text

Expected Results:  
Gallery index webpage opened inside first webpage

Doesn't happen in 2.0.0.12

Flash .swf files linked in this way do not load either, e.g.:

<object data="/images/words.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="410"><param name="movie" value="/images/words.swf" /><param name="menu" value="false" /></object>

This code displays nothing. I'm 95% sure it was working in 3.0b4.
