Hi this is with 2000-May-12-10o'clock
I only get a black page: http://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/~fsi/links.html. This is
according to the validator at W3C correct XHTML 1.0 and correct CSS (modulo some
warnings).

Tobias
The problem is the XML part on top of the entry:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

This is valid according to:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xhtml1-20000126/#docconf

over to Parser for evaluation.
Change URL (the old one has <!-- ?...? --> now as work-around). Now trying with
HTTP and newest snapshot the page is not black, but simply wont be drawn at all.
The page should look like this (work-around):
http://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/~fsi/links.html
Tested with Build # 2000051808 on RH 6.2. Could not reproduce. Tested with
original link, not with work around.
The page referenced in the URL currently crashes the browser; this is a known 
issue - bug 34688.

Since Bug 39520 is closed and slightly diffenent I reopen this bug.
Problem, still:
This page http://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/~fsi/links-test.html is not beeing
displayed with Linux snapshot 2000-05-26-08. I never expirienced the crashes
reported in the bug 39520, but it is simply not displayed at all.
Using View|Source the <?xml ...?> is displayed in violett (errorous?)
The file starts with
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

According to http://validator.w3.org, this is a completely valid document. See:

I'm not sure what the problem is here. The doctype detection code has been 
loosened up now to (correctly) determine the doctype. The blank-page phenomenon 
isn't reproducable on my machine (but I may be out of date -- indicating a 
layout bug).

I read so, but it still it doesn't work  here!

I observed this under Linux with (now) 2000-05-31-8. Still the same problem. And
in the xterm (now) the text "Error loading URL
http://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/~fsi/links-test.html" appears. (Somehow I cannot
display the source I simply isn't displayed.)

(I don't get this sentence.)
Tobias: Please wait to retest this stuff until my next landing. My comments 
(above) meant to imply that it's working in my tree, but has not landed.
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
The strictDTD code has landed, and I think this is now fixed.

Using the snapshot 2000-06-12-01/Linux I still have this problem (snapshots had
been broken for a few days) I will retry it after removing ~/.mozilla and/or
with the cvs build before I reopen it. (Sidebar doesn't work in this build so it
might be also a bug in this build.)
Ok using Build 2000-06-14-08 it works (almost) as expected.
The minor glitch I still see is that View|Source shows the first line in italic
violett/rosa which as far as I know indicates wrong tags. Else everything is
fine and I will remove the <!--? ?--> from my real pages and delete the example.
(Changed therefore the URL to the `real' files.)
