12641 - page is totally messed up

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Viewer App, defect, P3)

Description

[Chris]

I'm using the M9 release on Win98 the original version.  The viewer works nicely
on all the other pages I went to see, but on www.voodooextreme.com it totally
messed it up.  This page works fine in Communicator and IE4, although with
Javascript turned off there are a few glitches in Communicator (source code
appearing at the top superimposed over the page).

In the viewer, the page appears to be divided into three columns.  The current
day's news appears in the left column below the navigation links rather than in
the center column above the previous day's news.  The current headlines appear
to be missing entirely, but the background for those headlines fills the entire
center column.  The right column shows the previous days' news.

When I open the page, the viewer DOS box shows the following message:

"JavaScript error: unterminated regular expression literal
URL: http://www.voodooextreme.com/ LineNo: 294
Line text: '</script>', Error text: '/script>'

I'm not sure if this page has bad HTML coding, or whether it is a bug in
mozilla.

The problem was caused due to an error in parsing contents between SCRIPT tags.
My bad :(   Rectified the problem.  Page should render ok.


Marking bug fixed.
