77899 - drop down box does not appear in my valid html

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 69785

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[hstory]

we are creating some html with very long drop down boxes. Both drop down boxes
contain a list of all the valid language-locale pairs. The second box does not
appear.  The html is also created using enhydra, so it is forced to be of
reasonable high quality. But just to be sure I verified the html on w3c's html
validator. 

I don't see a way of attaching files here. I can send you the file if you mail me.

The second <select> is inside a span.. triggering a nasty rendering bug.

Reporter, HTML is valid only with a valid DTD on top of your documents!
