The M5 build (Apprunner ID 1999050423), and many previous builds (unto to the
extent that Mozilla has never succeeded), will, upon loading this page, display
- nothing. No content. The window is intact, the mail-slide is intact, but nil
is displayed. The (simple, single-table) HTML that Mozilla so blankly fears?:

Chris -- there's absolutely nothing interesting about the markup on this page,
and it renders find on NT. Can you confirm that this problem exists on NT or
Linux?
Assignee: chrisd → rickg
Tested using 5/13 Apprunner on Win 95, Win NT, Win 98, Linux(Viewer), and Mac8.5
(5/12 Apprunner).

Page comes up blank on Win 95, Win NT, Win 98, and Linux. Displays OK on Mac.

There is an illegal H1 heading within the CAPTION element (CAPTION can only
contain inline elements). This may be the problem.

Attached two files:
(1) 6107_with_H1.html
(2) 6107_without_H1.html

The second file, which does not have the illegal H1 element, displays fine
across platform.

Ok -- I've taught captions to contain flowelements; strictly speaking, this is
illegal HTML. But what the heck -- I've seen worse.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
Local file with cited HTML displays properly with Apprunner (Build ID
1999060808).
