15346 - Mozilla does not display coldFusion error messages

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Hi,
We use Coldfusion to develop Web based
applications. Sometimes ColdFusion will display an error screen. Mozilla
doesn't show anything on the screen (ie a white page). Previous
versions of Navigator display the error message.

I have looked at the HTML source produced by Coldfusion. It is really bad HTML.
I was wondering if you could let me know if this is a bug in Mozilla (as in it
should be able to handle thsi kind of HTML) or if I should report it to the
creators of coldfusion.

A sample coldFusion error message is at
http://idocs.suptec.com.au/Login_check.cfm

This is essentially the same as what happened for bug <A
HREF="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9905">9905</A>

Nightly build 1999093012

Rick, looks like a parser issue

Special "end-tag" handling was not accounting for skipped content. I'll check
this in once the tree is open.

This bug has uncovered a legitimate regression in the parsing engine that we're
fixing. Note, however, that the sample document provided is *extremely* bad
HTML. You might want to improve your HTML generation as well.

This bug should be dead by now.

Sorry for taking so long to verify this, I was offsite for a while.
It works OK

Unfortuantly the HTML is automatically generated. Unfortuantly the html is
automatically generated.
