Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 256180

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect)

Description

[David Martínez Martí]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla 1.7.3 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; es-ES; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910

www.sedice.com has one page that has too many tables: 
http://www.sedice.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=4166&start=120

We have tested it on other browsers (Opera & IE) and they display it correctly.

In the page, you can compare it on other forum page on Sedice.com . All posts 
tables are displayed incorrectly.

This can be because a code like this:
<table><tr><td>some text...
  <table><tr><td>some text...
    <table><tr><td>some text...
      <table><tr><td>some text...
        <table><tr><td>some text...
          .
          .
          .

And Firefox cannot display all information correctly.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
On Windows:
1.Open browser (Firefox or Mozilla suite) and navigate 
to "http://www.sedice.com/modules.php?
name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=4166&start=120"
2.Open a non Mozilla browser (such as IE or Opera), and navigate to the same 
page
3.Compare the result; (¿Too many indexed <table> ?)

Actual Results:  
On Microsoft IE, we can see too much quotes on a forum post.

On Mozilla Suite or Firefox, we see that table cells are not properly ordered. 
Some information that should appear on the left (as the post-user info), here 
appears on the bottom.


Expected Results:  
Mozilla Browsers should show the page similar to other browsers.


Note that I am admin & webmaster of sedice.com , and the bug was reported on 
my web by our forum-users. If you need anything else, please tell me.

I believe that the Bug I reported is relative to the browser and not to the 
web page. 

Thank you for reading this! ;)

Yes, I know that www.sedice.com is not W3C compilant.

But all other post pages on www.sedice.com are displayed correctly.

We (and some of sedice.com users) are using Mozilla Firefox, and it works 
correctly, except that post page.

Let me try to reproduce the bug on a page that will be W3C compilant;

The HTML parser misbehaves when there are too many nested tables. Bug 256180
describes exactly the same thing.
