Go to BOATS FOR SALE then go to ADVANCED SEARCH I get the contents of a scrollable selection window splattered over the top of the page. This page works fine on Netscape 4.7x and 6.2.2. This is my first time using Mozilla and I hope we can fix this incompatibility. Thanks Gary
Old URL: http://www.yachtworld.com/ New URL: http://www.yachtworld.com/listing/uk/yw_advanced_search_form.jsp The page has the following doctype: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/transitional.dtd"> Then a bit down the page it has the following code: <!-- ----------------- End of YW Header ----------------------- --> Breaking this down to show the starts and ends of comments ("[" denotes the start of a comment, right after the "--", "]" denotes the end, right before the "--"): <!--[ ]----[]----[]----[]----[- End of YW Header ]----[]----[]----[]----[]----[]--- --[> So the comment is not terminated, since the ">" is commented out. As a result, a bunch of markup gets commented out on that page. NS6 has a bug in its parser that causes it to show the page in quirks mode instead of standards mode. Which is why the page works in NS6. NS4 just has a buggy comment parser. Which is why the page works in NS4. To evangelism. The page should either not claim a standards-compliant doctype or fix its comments.
