25340 - extra text seen

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 14801

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

Description

[Jauder Ho]

Running this on M13 Linux glibc.

text as follows is seen on the page. verified that this does not show up on
communicator 4.7

	activity;src=361218;type=pv1;cat=hmpg;ord=2334925

Stock quote box has a up arrow (a la droplist) next to it for some strange
reason. this only appears when you click in the box to enter text.

The odd text shows up on the resulting page and causes an offset in the page.

I believe the text is a result of having a ; in the URL for the image,
which may not be legal.
I'm pretty sure this isn't a bug for Form Submission, so I'm changing it
to Browser-General until someone can find a better Component 
to assign the bug to.

The scrollbar in the text field is a dup of bug #20387.
In the future, please file a seperate report for each bug.  Thanks.

Perhaps Form Submission is the correct place for this to go.
Setting component back.  Sorry.
What I think is happening is that the parameter list as defined by
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt isn't getting parsed correctly.
I noticed that if I put the text of the problem URL in the URL
location bar of the browser, it cuts off everything after the second
';' and returns a 404 error.
