1255156 - Inspector shows invalid </col> ending tags in markup

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 820926

(DevTools :: Inspector, defect, P2)

Description

[John Karahalis [:openjck]]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Load a page that uses a <col> element (see attachment)
2. Open the Inspector

Actual result:

The markup in the Inspector shows a </col> closing tag after each corresponding opening tag. The closing tag is invalid because <col> is a void element like <img> and <br>. See attachment.

Expected result:

The markup in the Inspector should not show any closing </col> closing tags. Chrome does this correctly. See attachment.

Same with <img /> tags. Example URL:
data:text/html,<img src="http://buukkit.appspot.com/img/random.gif" />
I think there's a bug on file for this already, but I can't find it just now. I will look for it a bit more.
Assigning a priority in the meantime.
