Linux, Mozilla nightly build 031716. The following HTML: <p>random text <p>text before a link: <a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/"><cite>link <p>..link </cite></a>text after link <p>more randomness causes the anchor (link to www.fastcompany.com) to NOT terminate at the </a>. Instead, everything after <a href:...> is treated as the link. If I remove the nested <p>: <p>random text <p>text before a link: <a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/"><cite>link ..link </cite></a>text after link <p>more randomness the anchor tag correctly terminates at </a>. If instead I remove the <cite></cite> tags: <p>random text <p>text before a link: <a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/">link <p>..link </a>text after link <p>more randomness again, the link is terminated correctly.

Moivng to my list since Rickg is on sabbatical.

Should probably be fixed for rtm.

Changing rtm to nsbeta3.

Moving to the FUTURE list. Please raise your concerns. Thanx.

Ugh, this is very invalid HTML. If anyone wants this fixed, we're going to need to find top100 sites that exhibit this. If we don't fix it by rtm, then we might as well mark it WONTFIX or INVALID, since by then there will be a precedent for our behaviour: us.

massive update for QA contact.

I don't see the problem anymore. Marking WFM. Could someone please verify this? Thanx.

Actually, the problem is still appearing. From Hixie's comment though, this should be an INVALID. Marking as such, since <p> is illegal inide <a> tags. REOPENing.

Now marking RESOLVED INVALID. Also changing Plat/OS to ALL since it affected everything:).

*shrug* VERIFIED, since it's invalid. reopen if you find some top100 sites that exhibit this behaviour.

SPAM. HTML Element component deprecated, changing component to Layout. See bug 88132 for details.
