Stories created from 32bitsonline's news script dont show properly.
(No body text)

Neither do the article.php3's output.

Very odd problem. Below you'll see the content associated with the missing 
story, and the frames as well

Notice that the frames are all there, but the text frames have "" for their 
content. No text and hence nothing gets displayed for that table cell

What I don't know is why. Changing component to tables, because it's happening 
inside of a table.

What we need to do is to narrow this down to as small an HTML sample as possible 
and then debug it.

There's a scary assertion being hit in the dump of the content model. I don't 
know if that has anything to do with the problem or not

Attachment: testcase

Comment 3

I attached a testcase.

Basically, there's a <a name="top"></a> between a <tr> and a <td> in the 
table.  Then, there's a simple selector,<select name="engine"><option 
value="32bitsonline" selected>32BitsOnline</option></select> in the first 
cell.  Remove either of these, and text will display normally in the second 
cell.

check out #28504

Comment 5

[Kevin Puetz]

I can reproduce this in M14, but it appears to be fixed on the tip as of
3/23/2000. PLatform is Debian GNU/Linux for PowerPC (potato). I recommend the
reporter get a nightly and check, then this can probably be marked fixed.

Problem fixed as of 2000032409

Comment 7

[Christine Hoffman]

Verified fixed per reporter comments
