Details

The front page of the URI, http://www.dissentmagazine.org/, does not display in
Mozilla 0.9.7, Build ID: 2002012304, Windows 98. In IE 6, it shows up okay.

It appears the main content frame of this page is not rendering because it has a
<title="archive/index"> tag in <head>. This isn't valid in any spec AFAIK, but
should this really be causing Mozilla to panic?

Thanks. That's right, this doesn't look like tech evangelism.

A reduced testcase is, any page that has an opening title tag but not a closing
title tag renders blank. This is the case even if there is a closing head tag.
If the title tag is munged, we should still render everything after after a
closing head tag.

--> Browser/Layout. If turns out to still be tech evangelism, you will have my
apology.

Page now works. Title tag is fixed.

Doron, should Mozilla treat <title="Hello, this is a web page"> as a valid tag,
or should we move this back to tech evangelism, and resolve it as fixed?
If this is not tech evangelism, this bug may be a dupe of bug 42945.
This bug is a dupe.
