From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529
BuildID: 2002052918
When you load the example page I prepared you can see even those lines which are
commented out
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just load the page http://www-pnp.physics.ox.ac.uk/~stonjek/comment-test.html
Expected Results: Mozilla should not display any HTML comments
It seams as if: When you have two consecutive daches sourounded by white spaces
and a greater than sign ">" afterwards Mozilla combines this to an "end of
comment sign.
I could also reproduce this bug under Windows (Build ID 2002053012)
Confirmed 2002072008/win98se
Warningn, this is NOT a dupe of bug 144205 or bug 137628!!!
Reduced testcase coming soon!
Keywords: testcase
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
If you remove reference to "loose.dtd", the bug disappears.
If you try "strict.dtd" instead,
I suspect that it happens because both DTDs don't have any description for
comment, and thus, instead of strictly verifying "<!-- ... -->", they just
consider < (in <!--) and > (inside the comment body in the example) as
open/close brackets of a single and unknown tag.
Somebody who has a better idea about how DTD works with Moz, please clarify.
