58576 - Parser bug with anchors and PRE tags

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 54834

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect, P3)

Description

[Mike Kaply [:mkaply]]

The following html:

<a name=anchorlink>
<pre>
Pre tag starts here
This text is pre
<a href="not really a link">This link turns off pre because of the anchor</a>
And the rest of the text is not pre
</pre>

Is broken in Mozilla.

It does work on IE5 as well as 4.61.

It appears that the anchor within the PRE tag is throwing off the parser. Note 
that named anchor must be above the <PRE> for this to break.

Everyone on IRC told me to CC rickg.

And since I have already spammed people so much with this bug, what's one more?

I think I already have a fix for this, which I'm hoping to land shortly on the 
trunk (with about a dozen other little bug fixes). I'll take this bug until I 
can determine whether it's a dup.
