Details

Mozilla applies css class attributes from a standalone empty span tag to follow elements. Presumably a closed <span class="foo"/> should not affect ensuing tags in the document. Interestingly enough, MSIE exhibits identical behavior. Following HTML demonstrates the problem. <html xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"> <head> <title>EXSLT Test Page</title> <style> .PageTitle { font-size: 1.5em; } .PageSubTitle { font-size: .8em; font-style: italic; } </style> </head> <body> <span class="PageTitle">EXSLT Test Page</span><br/> <span class="PageSubTitle"/><br/> Hi...<br/> <span class="PageTitle">EXSLT Test Page</span><br/> </body> </html>
If you're serving the page as text/xml or application/xhtml+xml, reopen this bug. Otherwise, if you are serving it as text/html the <span> is not empty.
