592693 - can't add bank on mint.com

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: General, defect)

Description

[Mike Shaver (:shaver -- probably not reading bugmail closely)]

When I try to search for my bank, I get

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b6pre) Gecko/20100901 Firefox/4.0b6pre

In Chrome 5 I get

I tried disabling HTML5 parser, on a hunch, but nothing.  I notice that the page is in standards mode, but tells IE to behave like IE7, if that means anything.

The culprit is this, on the relevant list item:

  -moz-binding: url("../xml/ellipsis.xml#ellipsis");

Presumably trying to hack around us not implementing text-overflow:ellipsis...  See also discussion in bug 591198.

Bug 312156 comment 93 mentions this. It seems to be quite a well-known hack so I would expect more sites to be broken.

See for example http://www.visibilityinherit.com/code/ellipsis.php

Or do a web search for "xul:description" and "text-overflow: ellipsis".

Or just read Mozilla's own Developer Network article:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/text-overflow

which says:

"Firefox can emulate this behavior using the -moz-binding CSS property."

;-)

This was fixed by the fix for bug 591198.
