Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)

When you close an iframe tag <iframe src="..." /> (&lt;iframe src="..." /&gt;) all content untill next close iframe tag (</iframe>) (&lt;/iframe&gt;) is not shown.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Use <iframe src="..." /> instead of <iframe src="..."></iframe> in strict or transitional mode. For example the following is not displayed correctly:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Header 1</h1>
<iframe src="http://www.mozilla.org/" height="100" width=
"700" />
<h2>This header is NOT shown</h2>
</body>
</html>
Actual Results:  
The H1 the IFRAME are displayed. The H2 is not shown.

Expected Results:  
You shouldn't be forced to close an IFRAME with a seperate tag.
I would expect both <iframe src="..." /> and <iframe src="..."></iframe> to work.

All content should be shown in both cases. Only using a seperate closing iframetag seems to work. 

BTW: It might be arguable to not show a IFRAME in XHTML strict mode, but thats a different issue.

This doesn't work in Internet Explorer, so I assume using <iframe src="..." /> should be discouraged until Internet Explorer 7.x.
Version: unspecified → 1.5 Branch
It works with an XHTML MIME type; see the comments on the dupe.
