188279 - The browser does not display anything, just a blank white page.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 187790

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect)

Description

[Minko Markov]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030108

There aren't many details I can give. The browser does not crash
and behaves OK afterwards (at other pages, that is). Everything
normal, except that the e-book is not shown at all.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.newriders.com/books/opl/
2. Click on any of the 2 links in "Current Title"

Actual Results:  
A blank white page shows up.


Expected Results:  
The browser should have shown the e-book.

Mozilla 1.2.1 displays the books, but still chokes a little:
navigating by contents does not work, and navigating by
page numbers seems buggy, when you click on a page number
way down the list, you go to the top of the list again.

The latest nightly 1.3b does not display the books at all.
Nothing.

Netscape 4.77 displays the books fine.

confirmed with linux trunk build 20030108
this regressed between trunk builds 2003010305 and 2003010404

everything in that window that appears relevant (testcase to follow) was in parser

Attachment: testcase

DOM-generated frames.  current trunk does not process them at all.

Comment 3

[Andrew Schultz]

dupe of "document.write doesn't write outside of the body (frames / frameset blank)"
