154887 - XHTML closing tag not well parsed by stylesheet

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[gerben]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530
BuildID:    20020530

When I have
 <a name="foobar"/><h3>foobar</h3>
(XHTML) and I have a stylesheet defining "A" (the anchor object) H3 is also
parsed as if it is within the anchor tag that is already closed with the slash.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a stylesheet redefining the existing A, don't redefine h3!!
2. create a page with <a name="foorbar"/><h3>foobar</h3> that also includes the
stylesheet.
3. view the page :)

Actual Results:  the header (h3) is stylished as the anchor.

Expected Results:  stop stylishing the anchor when i reaches the closing tag
(that's within the opening tag in this case)

workaround: 
<a name="foobar"></a>
instead of
<a name="foobar"/>

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

Sending an XHTML document as text/html when it doesn't comply with the backwards
compatibility guidelines is INVALID.
