287094 - Tooltips under the yellow spots on the map on this page do not format correctly (they work fine in IE)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 67127

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect)

Description

[Ron McMahon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0

The tooltips (AREA TITLE = HTML Tags) do not format in the same way that IE
does.  The TITLE= tag has the code   embedded in it (to force a linefeed)
but Firefox displays these characters as a block with no linefeeds.  Therefore
the display doesn't work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to http://www.quickdrive.com/Borders/BorderCrossings.asp
2. Move your mouse over one of the yellow-backed dots on the page.
3. View the tooltip text box that appears, it won't be formatted with linefeeds.

Actual Results:  
Tooltip box is not formatted correctly.

Expected Results:  
It should insert line feeds between numerous rows under each area tag ToolTip
(TITLE HTML TAG) item.

The OSS road to nirvana is better than closed source!

-> Core - HTML: Parser

This seems to be caused when Firefox interprets the line breaks in HTML CDATA as
actual line breaks.  Since title is of type Text (== CDATA), these line breaks
should be replaced with spaces.

Depending on how common this construction is, this might be a candidate for the
compat keyword.
