User-Agent: Opera/7.54 (Windows NT 5.1; U) [en]
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
In the page http://www.971fm.net/bbs/index.php?showtopic=2277&st=15&hl= half of
the posts are missing when the page is loaded. What should be the 2nd and 3rd
posts are missing and its like this all through the page.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://www.971fm.net/bbs/index.php?showtopic=2277&st=15&hl=
2. look at the page in opera, or ie and compare it with mozilla firefox and I
think its in mozilla also.
3.
Actual Results:
Clearly visible outcome, missing text/posts.
Expected Results:
Fully render the page text posts.
This problem has been happening since at least version .8.

I don´t think this bug belongs to HTML:Parser, or maybe.
The file is rendering in Standards compliance mode
Question is, why does code blocked by invalid comments render, if the style is
turned off?
If you disable the style (View-Use Style->none), the missing posts are shown.
I didn´t see the posts in DOM-Inspector nor Editor, but ViewSource was showing a
large area of code as (green) comment.
Looking at the source, I found invalid comments:
<!-- THE POST 29312 -->
<table width='100%' cellpadding='4' cellspacing='0' border='0' align='center'
height='100%'>
<tr>
<td align='left' class='postcolor'>
<font color='' face=''><!--QuoteBegin--FaygoFreakGC+Jul 26 2003, 03:33 PM-->
The invalid comment above comments out the following code, until another invalid
comment restores:
<!--QuoteBegin--FaygoFreakGC+Jul 26 2003, 03:36 PM--></span>
For the use of multiple dashes inside comments:
http://htmlhelp.com/reference/wilbur/misc/comment.html
I don´t know if this bug is Invalid, Tech Evangelism, or a real Mozilla Bug
showing inconsistent behaviour in regard to comments.
Style enabled or not, Page Info tells: Standards compliance mode
but comments are handled differently.

I see nothing like that happening here in a current trunk build.
