User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; nl; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032609 Firefox/3.0.8 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Using the doctype specified below (quite common) it's not possible to do:
<!-- this is a <a href="after--nothing will appear">comment</a> -->
This would normally show you nothhing but in Firefox and the doctype below it will show: comment</a> -->
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html><head><title></title></head><body>
You can see this, but <!-- you should not see <a href="comments after--will not be shown">this</a>? -->.
</body></html>
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a HTML file with the following content:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html><head><title></title></head><body>
You can see this, but <!-- you should not see <a href="after--there will be nothing!">this</a>? -->.
</body></html>
Actual Results:
You can see this, but this? -->.
Expected Results:
You can see this, but .
Note: that if you remove the doctype specification it will work properly. It also works normally in other browsers.
Thanks for reporting.
