When bad HTML code is encountered on web pages, inform the user. It should bring up a dialoue window informing the user that: 1. the visited site contains bad code. 2. offers to save the error messages to a file (e.g., "line x is missing a close tag"). 3. suggests that the user send an email to the site informing them of the problem (with error message file). Of course, there should be a "remember this decision" button for people who could care less about "saving the world" from poor HTML code. Of course, this should include other code too (not just HTML). If this practice catches on (also by other browsers), this will help avoid forcing mozilla to compensate for poor web page design in the long term. More importantly, it will highten the awareness of the fact that Mozilla is the standards conform browser, and it is the other browsers (e.g., M$ IE) that do not conform to standards ("this [bad] site was written for IE -> aha, it is IE that is not adhering to standards").

There are other bugs on this. We porbably have the capability to do this fro CSS, JS, DOM, and of course XML, but not HTML, since our HTML parser isn't compliant itself... This bug is a duplicate, though, I think.

There's bug 6211 and bug 47108.

oh darm - I though I was being clever and original with this bug ;) marking dup of bug 6211 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 6211 ***
