The page above, loaded in Firefox[1], Mozilla[2] and the latest Firefox build[3] on linux is rendered incorrectly. I also noted it with a colleague's Mozilla on Win32. The <dd></dd> tags are ignored in some but usually not all of the lists (scroll down the page looking for a very wide entry with links straight after the <dt>xxxxxx:</dt>). When you reload the situation usually changes, some or all may be corrected, others may go wrong. If you highlight a bad list and "view selection source" the <dd></dd> tags have vanished from the code. If you save the file the <dd></dd> tags vanish as per the "view selection source". The situation is rather hard to predict. If I save the file to disk with the filename firstLinesIndex.php%3Fletter=b the problem is seen when open it. However, if I copy the file to the name test2.html the problem seems to disappear. Running diff on the two files shows they are identical. I wonder if the absense of .html extension somehow affects things? Sorry if this appears a bit vague. I have seen it on several different installations on several different machines and two different OSes. It's not seen in other browsers, eg dillo.

(In reply to comment #1) > Created an attachment (id=169834) [edit] > Short html File exhibiting the bug. Note that clicking the link will not show the bug. You must save it, rename to something like afirstLinesIndex.php%3Fletter=b1 and reopen.

Invalid HTML, use validator to check: http://validator.w3.org/ http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=https%3A%2F%2Fbugzilla.mozilla.org%2Fattachment.cgi%3Fid%3D169834&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&verbose=1 <html><head>...</head> is seen twice: Line 9, column 5: document type does not allow element "HTML" here <html> Line 29, column 21: document type does not allow element "DL" here; missing one of "APPLET", "OBJECT", "MAP", "IFRAME", "BUTTON" start-tag <td><font size=-1><dl> One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>").

Hadn't noticed that mistake in one of my templates (though not related). > Line 29, column 21: document type does not allow element "DL" here; missing one > of "APPLET", "OBJECT", "MAP", "IFRAME", "BUTTON" start-tag > > <td><font size=-1><dl> > > One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a > block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such > as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>"). Ack! Sorry, should've thought to run it through the validator first. This seems to fix it and it explains why the problem occurred. It is a little wierd that it's so erratic but if it's not valid html then that's fair enough. Sorry to have wasted your time. Thanks, Gavin
