This changes when removing the double quotes in the first line. -----------------8<----------------------------------------------- <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC ""> <html> <head> </head> <body> Before comments<br> <!----- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> Between comments 1<br> <!-----/-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> Between comments 2<br> <!-----/-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> After the comments. </body></html> Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. copy the above lines to a file and display it in mozilla 2. display to the source code to see mozillas interpretation of the HTML 3.
Please note that the beginning of comment 3 is completely dropped in the source view of moz. Greetings Gernot
another thing: this applies to all versions of mozilla.
Those aren't valid HTML comments. Read <URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.4>. Changing the quotes is causing doctype switching to a mode that's more tolerant of bad markup. INVALID.
