Details

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0) BuildID: 20001018-09 Since Mozilla will be supporting only the real HTML standard specifications, maybe it would be a great idea to have an option like "Show Non-standard HTML errors" that you could toggle ON/OFF in the menu or preferences. When the option is turned on it should display a window presenting the tags that are not supported in the page, with a little explanation and maybe a link to W3.ORG. For example when displaying pages with Netscape layers or like "http://home.passagen.se/elr/sommar.html" that uses the unsupported "leftmargin" tag, A new windows appears: "This page uses an unsupported tag "Leftmargin" that is Microsoft propritary and it is not supported in the HTML specifikation. This could result that this page displays incorrectly." Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use Mozilla on a page enhanced for IE or Netscape (propritary tags) 2. 3. Expected Results: Display an optional window that tells the user that there is a problem with the HTML coding. A lot of people trying out Mozilla or Netscape6 tells me that some pages renders things wrong and that the same pages works in Internet Explorer/Netscape communicator. For example pages using layers and leftmargin... An explanation of the non-standard HTML would really help them understand why and when a page is displayed wrong and that Mozilla is not "buggy".
I think that this is a duplicate. I will try to find the original report.

This is actually a dup of bug 6211, which wants Mozilla to show all errors with the html of a page, or at least warn the user when quirks present in Netscape 4 are used (whether the quirks are still present or not). Bug 47108 is mostly about the status bar display.
eeek, jesse is right. reopneing to do thus
