12025 - Comments are handled incorrectly

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 2749

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect, P3)

Description

[russell]

`<!' begins a comments block
`--' begins and ends comments
'>' ends a comment block.

So the parser should parse the HTML in the above page as follows:
<!	Begin a comment block
--	Begin a comment
	Nothing inside this comment (other than a space)
--	End a comment
--	Begin a comment
>in<!	Content of this comment
--	End a comment
--	Begin a comment
	Nothing inside this comment (other than a space)
--	End a comment
>	End the comment block.

The parser is responding as it should according to how Navigator parsed
comments (this is what we call quirks mode). By the time we ship, we'll have a
non-quirks mode in which comments will be parsed according to W3C rules (the
code is in already).
