15412 - Stray </NOSCRIPT> confuses parser

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 15346

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect, P3)

Description

[olaf]

The page above comes up blank in build #1999082316. (It seems to have worked
some days ago, but unfortunately they also changed the page layout, so I am not
sure.)
The page contains a JS script which emits some document stuff and <NOSCRIPT>,
followed by replacement text and </NOSCRIPT>, like this:

--cut--

<!-- Add-Ad Start -->
<CENTER>
<IFRAME...>
<SCRIPT><!--
document.write("stuff for use with JS <NOSCRIPT>");
//--></SCRIPT>
stuff for use without JS
</NOSCRIPT>
</IFRAME>
</CENTER>
<!-- Add Ad End -->

--cut--

Now the parsing seems to get confused by the single </NOSCRIPT> in the HTML.
The DOM viewer shows as last recognized node the first "Add-Ad Start" comment,
so it could even be an interaction with the IFRAME.

Of course the whole HTML construct is rather questionable, but when I remove
the </NOSCRIPT> tag it works.
