Shrirang, although I don't see the problem with the current build on the 
original url, the test case I have just attached shows it. I suspect bad html. 
4x also gets confused. Can you please confirm?

Comment 8

[shrirang khanzode]

yup ,confirmed on today's branch 1009 ...move to evangelism ?

Comment 9

[rubydoo123]

are you confirming it doesn't work, or are you confirming it is bad html?

[shrirang khanzode]

oops...Rephrasing:
1 I see the webpage(zdnet.it) working fine in the browser (don't see any bad 
html)
2 The testcase shows bad html

OK, how it looks:

<EMBED SRC="some url here" target="_top">
 swLiveConnect=FALSE WIDTH=148 HEIGHT=800 QUALITY=autohigh
 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" 
 PLUGINSPAGE="some other url here">
</EMBED>

Note the '>' ending the first line, which closes the <embed> tag making 
everything which follows just a text. Removing it fixes it all. 

Bad HTML, INVALID.

Attachment: the same as the previous one but with '>' removed

The original url is not always generated so that the problem is shown. Only when 
it creates a frame with the following url:
http://adn4.activeadv.net/html.ng/site=zdne&adsize=148x800&pos=23&subsite=home
(whose source in fact is saved in the first attachement to this bug report).
This is iPlanet website! And Feedback link on it redirects to 
http://home.netscape.com/misc/feedback.html , wow! I have sent them a message.
