16234 - mozilla freezes

Status: CLOSED WORKSFORME

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

Description

[greg]

when surfing to www.counter-strike.net mozilla M10 freezes up on my system.

My config is as follows:
Dell Precision Workstation 410
2 * P-II 400
WinNT 4.0 SP5
Diamond FireGL 1000 Pro (ick!)
On board Adaptec AIC-7890/7880 (a.k.a. AHA 2940U2W) SCSI controller.

Not that most of that matters, but....

I don't get a GPF, but the app definately stops responding.  I tried exiting and restarting, and it still won't load the page...

Here's the output from the apprunner window:

Setting content window
browser.startup.page = 0
startpage = about:blank
Document about:blank loaded successfully
Document: Done (0.219 secs)
got observer service
added observer
Init!
adding "http://cvs-mirror.mozilla.org/webtools/tinderbox/SeaMonkey/flash.rdf" to

adding "rdf:msgnotifications" to the tree
adding "rdf:xpinstall-update-notifier" to the tree
run LoadDetectorsMenu()
run LoadDetectorsMenu()
FindShortcut: in='www.counter-strike.net'  out='null'

----------

Most of the page loads, but at the same point every time it freezes.

This has partially to do with faulty HTML this site uses. It writes paragraphes
directly into the <TABLE> -tags, without <TR>s or <TD>s.
Somehow this slows down the browser, although if you wait REAL long, the page
gets drawn eventually. But none of the </A>s get recognized, so if one Hyperlink
starts, it spans to the rest of the site. I'm not sure if this is responsible
for the slowdown, or if this is a seperate bug. I've created an attachment which
shows this.

Attachment: The link wrongly spans the whole text.

I don't see either of the bugs described on Linux.  It doesn't seem like
something that would be platform-dependent.  Therefore, I'm going to mark it
worksforme.

However, so it goes to the right person if you reopen it, I'm going to change
component to Parser and reassign *first*, then mark WORKSFORME.

www.counter-strike.net has changed its layout since this bug was reported, so it
isn't visible anymore. The attachment also works fine by now (at least on Linux
and Win98). I'd say the bug is fixed.

The attachment works in M11. I'll mark it as Closed.
