MOZILLA DEVELOPERS:

I know this is a duplicate bug report.  However, maybe you can find the problem better if you look at the source codes for the sites mentioned in bug 576250 and this bug (bug 610454).

I didn't see a problem with the styling with the site mentioned in bug 576250 and the error still occurs with the Amazon page above in the latest hourly Minefield build.  Also, I didn't see this underline problem when searching other Amazon.com items today.

However, why would this page render correctly in FOUR other web browsers (Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari).....all the current versions as of 11/8/10.....and not the latest Minefield build?

> and not the latest Minefield build?

Most likely because we're the only browser implementing the HTML5 parsing spec so far.  Which means this might be a problem in the spec.

Basically a dup of bug 572713, quirksmode only.

Reduced testcases:
data:text/html,<u><table><tr><td>test</table> (uncloded <u>)
data:text/html,<u><table><tr><td>test</u>     (unclosed table)

Regarding comment 9 - NO, the bug also occurs in the latest Nightly Minefield (11/8/10).

Comment 12

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

How does that contradict comment 9?

[Chris B.]

It doesn't - I thought you were asking a question in comment 9, but I now realize you were just taking a snippet of my text to answer.

FWIW, Chrome 7 also has an HTML5 parser, so it provides an easy way to get data about the bug being on the layout side (as it is in this case).

Mozilla - almost there, but still a small issue with this bug.  There are still elements that are double-underlined that shouldn't be even with the latest hourly build.

Scroll through the original link given at the top of this page (Amazon - Golden Girls):
http://www.amazon.com/Golden-Girls-Anniversary-Complete-Collection/dp/B003YKDPCI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1289248260&sr=8-1

and compare it to this one (Amazon - Nintendo Wii Console):
http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Hardware-Bundle-Red-Nintendo/dp/B0045FEEAS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1290395276&sr=8-1


Notice how all the orange, bold, category headers (Customer Discussions, Listmania!, etc) from the Nintendo Wii page are NOT double-underlined, but the ones from the Golden Girls are.  However, I applaud you for partially fixing the issue at hand, because all the customer reviews from the Golden Girls page were underlined, but now they are not.  There is still something amiss in the Firefox / Minefield HTML5 text rendering code, though.

The issue only appears on this one page (also appears in IE 9 Beta) and for the past couple months I have not seen another site experiencing the problem, which makes me think there is an HTML coding error on Amazon.com's end (still has double underlines even in IE 9 Beta).  Marking as "RESOLVED WORKSFORME".
