Problem happens with Moz 1.3 in Win2K and WinME. Mozilla 1.2.1 on Win 98, Netscape 4.7 on Win2K and IE on either OS do not have the extraneous letters and work properly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Go to www.mydanaher.com 2. 3. Actual Results: Got the extraneous text "at" on left edge. Expected Results: Should have had white space/no text on left edge. Don't know if this helps but Using classic theme Have Calendar, Spelling, Diggler installed Have min font preference set to 10

This is because there's content after </html>, including "<small>at</small>". Harish, is it reasonable to drop anything after </html> or do we have quirks that depend on that?

Chris: The parser does not regard </html> as end of document and I believe there are tools that generate this kind of markup.

Yeah, I figured. :-( Reporter, do you have any contact with the developers of the page?

Reporter does work for the company that runs this web page but, does not know the developers. I could start digging to find a contact if someone thought that would be helpful. FWIW, the curious thing to me is that Mozilla 1.2.1 renders this page fine and Mozilla 1.3 has the issue.

I'm not sure why IE doesn't render it; as harishd said, some (broken) pages require rendering beyond </html> and this page definitely has a little wad of content stuck just after that. The developers probably don't even know it's there; it's more likely you can get them to clear it away than that we'll be able to develop a workaround, I'm afraid.

Marking this INVALID since the page has been fixed and there's no testcase that shows the bug.
