126996 - Text contents are not rendered at all, but markup characters are.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 117762

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect)

Description

[Karl Johan Kleist]

Build ID: 2002 02 20 03. Windows 2000.

Apologies for wild guess of "Style System"...

The second part of the first paragraph (with the header "InfoCenter",
in the main white area) is not rendered at all.

Also, the characters '">' and '" border="0">' appear before and after,
respectively, the first part of the paragraph.

Both Opera 6 and IE 5.5 handle this page fine. Stay tuned for screen dumps...

Only had a quick look, but I suspect the following HTML shows the problem:

<!--BEGIN ONLINE SPIN-BOX SECTION------------------------------------------>
<form name="infocenter"
action="http://www.ibm.com/software/cgi-bin/software/listbox-redirect.pl"
method="GET">
<!------ 6 -->
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="100%" >
<tr valign="top">
<td colspan="3">
<span CLASS="section">Version 4.0 InfoCenters:</span>
</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td colspan="3"  ><b>View online in your Web browser:</b></font></td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td width="10"><img src="http://www.ibm.com/i/v10/icons/ilink.gif" width="16"
height="16"  alt="-->" border="0">


Mozilla is in "Strict standards compliance mode.". Those "--" within the HTML
comments cause are the problem. The comments ends at the alt="-->".
