Could you please attach a testcase that is functional as is. I don't know what
jsp is and I can do nothing with the current attachment.

Attachment: test case test1.xml

Attachment: testcase 1 with HTML mime type (this works ok)

Confirming, this is XHTML-only problem which does not appear in HTML.

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

Uh, this has regressed even further, I get a blank page now :(

Chris, could you please find out when the regression happened (in NS 6.2.1
test1.xml loads but does not display correctly, in latest Mozilla the page is
blank).

Now the page seems to be back to the original bug, we do get a visible page but
it is laid out wrong.

Heikki,

I noticed the DIV tags in both the second and third test case have no specified
measurement for the style attribute


<div style="position:absolute; left: 5; top: 5; z-index:5; width:200; height:200">

However, adding px to each value will layout the page correctly, like the html
example.

Attachment: Relative px measure included

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

Heh, this became simple :)

XHTML means strict layout. In strict layout we require correct CSS. CSS requires
units (like px etc.), but the original testcase is missing them. Therefore this
bug is INVALID.
