From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.9+) Gecko/20020306 BuildID: 2002030604 The above URL points to a FAQ area, which seems to use <p class=> to set paragraph settings. As I'm not familiar with the class statement, this is a guess. In any event the FAQ section headings display (e.g. General Questions), but test below this heading is not displayed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to URL 2. See how page is rendered Actual Results: Text not displayed. Expected Results: Expected text to display. I've noticed that if I right-click on an area where I expect to see text, the text appears in red behind the Mozilla pop-up menu.

No, the problem is that they use layers. And we _do_ display the text. It's just white. (try selecting it). Basically, their page sucks. Assigning to evangelism.

The page has a white background and the stylesheet it includes has: a:link { color: rgb(255,255,255) } So the text is just white-on-white. You can see this by highlighting the whole area -- the text becomes visible. The page also has <style type = "text/css"> (with the spaces exactly like that). This is parsed as <style type=" text/css"> by our parser, it seems. As a result the <style> is ignored (since it's of type " text/css") and hence the text color is never changed to blue. Over to parser. I can't figure out why IE and Netscape do not load that stylesheet... it's correctly imported.

Er.. ignore the "I can't figure out..." part of the comment. That was before I noticed that they _do_ load it.

Just to elaborate on the comment Boris made about Netscape and IE. Netscape 4.79 and IE 6.0 display this page correctly. Netscape 6.2.1 has the same problem as Mozilla build 2002030604, which indicates to me that this isn't a regression.

OK. I finally had a chance to investigate this at length. The key issue is the following line in the inline stylesheet: A:link {color: "blue"; text-decoration: underline;} This is invalid CSS -- the color name should not have quotes around it. As a result, Mozilla ignores the color rule and the links end up white on white. Taking those quotes out makes the page render fine in Mozilla. It seems that IE and Netscape 4 are failing to follow the CSS specification here. To evangelism; the site need merely remove those two quotes for the page to render fine (though they need to fix the layer issues Christopher pointed out in order to have their little popup menus work).
