206362 - scriptsearch.com - invalid comment syntax breaks page rendering

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 91769

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect, P4)

Description

[Trey Hunner]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3.1) Gecko/20030425

In all of the script pages at http://www.scriptsearch.com the scripts where not
visable in the Mozilla browser, but where visible in IE, Opera, and many others.
 I believe this is because a comment command was not recognized as ending and it
just went on.  I am not sure why the comment command was not correctly
recognized as having an end.  Much of the page was blank because of this.  The
command looks like this:
<!---------------------------   -------------------->

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.scriptsearch.com/details/4141.html
2. Or go to any other page on scriptsearch.com

Actual Results:  
The page was rendered incorrectly

Expected Results:  
It should have been rendered correctly

Unfortunately, this seems to be accepted Mozilla parsing (in contrast to IE,
Opera, NS4), due to some ideas about <!SGML --comments-- within tags>.
Bug 199794 , Bug 186768
Search for "Comment" with Component:Parser and all Statuses (such as "Invalid").

The comment has invalid syntax.  This is a TE bug.
