277987 - <OL> tag pair fails to align number and text for <LI> #1 set

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 100930

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

Description

[Stan Crouch]

To whom it may concern,

One of the HTML tags <OL><LI></LI></OL> does not
work correctly for some reason.  This includes
both Mozilla and Netscape browsers.  It does work
in Internet Explorer correctly.  Naughty, naughty!
It smells like the (LF|CR) is not being handled
properly for case #1.

Here is the HTML code that failed in my page:

<OL>
<LI><A HREF="#Q001">What is Handwriting Analysis?</A></LI>
<LI><A HREF="#Q002">How do I get to the ASPG meeting center on Bond Street?</A></LI>
<LI><A HREF="#Q003">What are the benefits of becoming a Professional Member,
Associate or Student of ASPG?</A></LI>
</OL>

If there is something wrong in the code, I would surely like
to know, otherwise I have to assume it's a bug since the
same code in Internet Explorer V6.0.2800.1106 works but not in
Mozilla 1.6 and the current AOL version of Netscape.

P.S. Not sure if "Composer" is the correct component.  This
is related to the general Mozilla browser logic, IMHO.

Stan, does the attached testcase work for you?
I think the problem is that you are using <OL><DD> in your page, not <OL><LI>.

I see what the problem is in your page now, you have an unclosed <A>
before the <OL> - this why you have the problem when you use <LI> that
contains <A>link</A>. This is bug 100930.

This is the problem: <A NAME="FAQTOP"><BR>
