58229 - XML content and parser error displayed in the same window

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: XML, defect, P3)

Description

[Heikki Toivonen (remove -bugzilla when emailing directly)]

Trivial bug, try to open an XML document without a stylesheet that is missing an
end tag. You will get this error message:

This XML document is a missing a end tag for the root element.

The "a" should be "an".

Trivial, taking ;)

Doh, we no longer get that error message. Instead we get

XML Parsing Error: no element found

so I am marking this as worksforme.

Attachment: A xml document that is missing a end root tag and has no stylesheet assigned.

Open the test case in N6. Two things should be displayed in the browser window:
the document's content and a parser error. Usually, if the document is not
well-formed ,you get a parser error only. No content of the document should be
displayed. But in this case, you get both.

This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer
working on this is over-burdened. If you feel this is an error, that you or
another known resource will be working on this bug,or if it blocks your work
in some way -- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration.

This bug seems to have gotten fixed, as I only see the parser error while
displaying petersen's testcase in my 2002011508 build.  Marking WFM.
