44422 - Rendering images with OBJECT tag doesn't work

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Matthias Kerkhoff]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.73 [en] (WinNT; U)
BuildID:    2000070108

According to the HTML4.01 spec it should be possible to include images 
by using the <object> tag. See the spec for an example. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get your HTML4 spec and have a look on page 162.
2. Setup a quick testcase from the example given in the object tag section.		
3. Load it with Mozilla.	

Actual Results:  Only the content, but not the object/image will be rendered. 
The content is the stuff between the <object> tags.

Expected Results:  The image should have been rendered

Example from the spec:
<OBJECT data="http://www.somecompany.com/People/Ian/vacation/family.png"
type="image/png">
A photo of my family at the lake.
</OBJECT>

Confirming issue is occuring in the July 3rd builds. There was a existing bug 
report a few weeks ago but can no longer locate it bugzilla. This problem only 
affects OBJECTS that use TYPE attribute assigned PNG. JPG, or GIF.

Most of our HTML 4 object test cases (http://mozilla.org/quality/browser/
standards/html) uses a image source. These are natively supported formats (PNG, 
JPG, and GIF) in the browser and should be supported when used with OBJECT.

Putting on [nsbeta2-] radar. Not critical to beta2. 

Comment 5

[Chris Petersen]

I would still like to see this issue fixed for beta2. This was functioning in the 

Preview 1 release in April and now is broken.

<OBJECT data="http://people.netscape.com/av/photo/Stanford/images/full/men1.jpg" 
type="image/jpeg">
Rodin
</OBJECT>

Removed nsbeta2 from whiteboard which I added.

If you need Object test cases that use image, go to either:
http://mozilla.org/quality/browser/standards/html/object_data_jpg.html
http://mozilla.org/quality/browser/standards/html/object_data_gif.html
http://mozilla.org/quality/browser/standards/html/object_data_png.html

Reassigning to myself.

Comment 12

Oops! Somebody was too quick. I've just checked in the fix. I hope I won't be 
punished for checking in non-nsbeta2+ stuff. I really didn't know it was 
downgraded five minutes ago.

[av (gone)]

And yes, all the abovementioned tests work, so I guess we can mark this one 
fixed.

Comment 14

[Chris Petersen]

Cool, I hope to see the fix in the next build. Maybe tomorrow ?

Comment 15

[Chris Petersen]

Fixed in the July 11th builds (2000071120).

SPAM. HTML Element component deprecated, changing component to Layout. See bug
