132771 - Tables not rendered when table's starting tag created using document.write

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 132673

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Manfred Schneiderbauer]

The simple piece of HTML code reachable at the given URL above will not be
rendered on Mozilla 0.99, Build 2002032117, although it rendered correctly in
previous versions. 
On the mentioned build, you will see nothing, while you will see a line of text
on other builds and browsers.
This seems to probably prevent many web sites with dynamically created elements
to be displayed at all and therefore looks like some real burning-bottom problem
*ouch*...

Another URL to see this problem is http://www.central-soelden.at

The build 2002031903 is fine - 20020320 is already broken.

Yet another at <http://www.freetranslation.com>. There should be a "Translate"
button under the text area. This button is generated by document.write and no
longer displays. Worked a couple of days ago. Using Linux trunk build
2002-03-21-21. 

Could some please change platform to "all"? Also, could we give the bug a more
general name, since it's not specific to tables? How about "elements created
with document.write are not rendered"? This would make the bug easier to find
and identify.
