20624 - META REFRESH inside NOSCRIPT is used

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 19598

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

Description

[buster]

1) load my.netscape.com
2) click the logon link in the upper left corner ("I have already customized my
page. Find it!")
3) the logon page loads momentarily, then is replaced with a page that claims
javascript is not enabled.

The relevant code is:

<NOSCRIPT>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="0;URL=/iiop/UReg2/reg/browser_js_disable?U2_CS=ISO_8859-1:1987&U2_LA=en">
</NOSCRIPT>

The basic problem here is that a META element between NOSCRIPT tags is being
used.

Retitling bug, changing component to Parser, and reassigning as an initial
guess.  I don't know at what level NOSCRIPT is handled...

Ok -- I've found the problem. If the <noscript> occurs in the head, we need to
move it (and all its children) to the body. The parser is currently only moving
the <noscript> and leaving it's children to be processed normally. Since this is
not a PDT+ bug, I'm going to delay fixing it until my PDT+ bugs are gone.
