Details

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; N; Linux 2.2.5-22 i686; en-US) Mozilla/m13 BuildID: 2000022916 (I thought this browser was M14, but the User-Agent field says M13.) Mozilla displays an empty, black frame (and the context menus don't work within that frame). For this problem to occur, three things must be true--the document must be served as type text/html, there must be an xml declaration present, and there must be a doctype. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to http://www.w3c.org/DOM/ Alternatively, use this HTML snippet (and serve it as text/html): <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3c.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <!-- Either the XMl declaration or the DOCTYPE is fine, but not both. This only breaks when served with the MIME type text/html. --> <html> <head> <title>Sample XHTML Page</title> </head> <body> <h1>Sample XHTML Page</h1> </body> </html> Actual Results: Black frame (and I can't pop up a context menu). Expected Results: Shown me the page, or given me an error. This probably breaks other XHTML sites, which is very bad--XHTML is the W3C's recommendation for the next generation of HTML.
may be related to bug 26022. using m14 on win32 i can't even load the DOM URL. the mozilla window hangs completely, although it can be closed, and other mozilla windows are unaffected.

Ever confirmed: true
eric.kidd@pobox.com, the M14 release is getting a bit long in the tooth -- M15 is expected within a week. Hundreds of bugs have been fixed in the last month. The DOM page at the URL above loads fine with the 2000-04-09-08-M15 nightly binary on WinNT. Can you reproduce the load failure with a current binary? If you don't want to try a nightly, please retest this page once M15 is out.
Also loads fine with Linux build 2000.04.09.09.
marking this worksforme per sidr and zach's comments. eric.kidd@pobox.com if you still see this in current nightly builds please reopen. Thanks for your help in testing and reporting bugs
