655970 - Web page is partially displayed in Firefox 4

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

Attachment: Cleaned up code

The problem was reported on the Italian support forum and it started with Firefox 4 (Firefox 3.6 displays the page correctly). What's strange is that the code displayed using View source is complete.

The code of this page is a complete mess (table, fonts, etc.), so I tried at least to clean it up from the ads (see attached file)

Setting html5.parser.enable to false solves the problem.
2 noticeable things on this page:
- it doesn't have a doctype
- the <b> tag on the last entry is not correctly closed

cc-ing Sivonen for the html5 parser.

I meant "on the last visible entry", that is this one
<font face="verdana" size="3"><b>MONSTERS GONE WILD - Una 'mostruosa' gara di ballo</a><br>

Comment 3

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

the page is fully visible in Chrome, Opera and IE (latest versions)

Comment 4

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

Correctly closing tags solves the problem (both adding missing closing tags, and reordering out of order closing tags).
It's mostly matter of figuring out if this is the expected behavior or if we should fallback to some compatibility support.

As far as I can tell, the site looks the same in Firefox, in Chrome, in IE6 and in Opera Ragnarök.
