Details |
Under some circumstances, the <STRONG> tag can hide other tags as in the
following example:
<HTML><BODY>
<A HREF="www.mozilla.org">www.<STRONG>mozilla.org</STRONG></A>
This text is not displayed as a link and it's OK....
<HR>
<A HREF="www.mozilla.org">www.<STRONG>mozilla.org</A></STRONG>
This text is now displayed as a link and it should not !!!
</BODY></HTML>
Proble occurs because </A> is not seen (because it's inside a
<STRONG> </STRONG> tag set.
The same test case fails with EM instead of STRONG.
With netscape 4, there was no problem with this kind of HTML text.

That's bad HTML: STRONG should be closed first, because it got opened last.
Proposing INVALID.

Over to parser. Recommending INVALID also; HTML tags should be properly nested
and when they are not Mozilla takes a guess at what the author really meant.
This guess is often right, but not always; if authors want a correct rendering
they should write correct code.

Seems to be covered by bug 26347, the gloriously vague "some [badly nested]
tags lead to incorrect parsing". I suggest Mats' testcase gets attached to that
and this marked as a DUP.
Ok this is invalid HTML, but what a simple way to tackle the mozilla parser.

Marking as dup of bug 26347 and attaching the testcase to that bug.
