262562 - View source collapses quotation marks """""" -> "

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 43267

(Toolkit :: View Source, defect)

Description

[Claudio Cicali]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3 AND 1.0PR

View source collapses quotation marks. On, for example, <a
href="foo.html""""""""> you'll see <a href="foo.html">. This could be a problem
(time loss) when you validate a page and you get such syntax error. Simply
viewing the source you'll not be aware of the problem. Confusing.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
As for blanks (that are not collapsed in view source), quotation marks should
not be collapsed.

The same happens when you use a local file.
went trough 2500+ bugs in browser, couldn't find a dupe

I don't know if this should be 
->Browser
->All/All
->New

So I'll leave that to someone who knows more about it

I'm not sure if Product->Browser. I could reproduce in Seamonkey. Is is code
common, if not should 2 copies of the bug be created.

view source is not the exact source, its the DOM source, there's dozens of bugs
on this, perhaps not this exact issue, but this type of issue in general.

I fixed this recently on the trunk. The fix isn't in on the avairy branch,
however (and probably won't make it there). For the record, view-source should
be getting a lot better pretty soon.
