Details

A ran into a bit of HTML that confuses Gecko in an article on abcnews.com. Load this page: <html> from abcnews.com <font face="arial" size=4 color="#3366cc"><b>Assistance Makes the Difference</font></b> Cuomo described the study <html> Note how <font> and <b> are improperly nested. Still, Navigator (for instance) does what the authors no doubt intended, while mozilla continues to use the font for the rest of the article.
