301682 - content after iframe isn't displayed

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect)

Description

[Marius Andreiana]

The content after an iframe isn't rendered to display. I've reduced the problem
to the attached testcase.
The text "This text doesn't appear" should be after the table which contains the
iframe.

That's clearly invalid behavior, and the parser is eating up that last fragment
of text, presumably because of the </p> tag. Moving over to parser, possibly
invalid.

I meant "invalid HTML".

your iframe is missing a close tag.

Or rather, in HTML, iframes are not empty elements, and so you cannot
(mis-)represent them as such (ie "<iframe ... />").  The parser assumes the '/'
is a typo, eats the rest of the document (waiting for the </iframe>), then adds
the closing tags itself.

Yeah, this bug is INVALID, as filed. You cannot use the XML /> empty element
syntax in HTML, so the <iframe> is never actually closed (actually, in HTML <tag
/> means <tag> /&gt; but that's another story entirely). Marking INVALID.
