When loading an html page with <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> root tag, it appears that javascript inlined within a <script> tag is not being properly parsed and ampersand (&) symbols are attempting parse as escaped html. Instead of loading the page I get "error on line {x} at column {y}: xmlParseEntityRef: no name" where the line and column are the second & symbol. Below is some example html that demonstrates this issue. I have also attached the html file to this report. <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>ubuntu webkit redering</title> <script type="text/javascript"> if (1 === 1 && 1 != 2) { console.log("Parsed!"); } </script> </head> <body> <h1>Page loaded successfully</h1> </body> </html> 1952623 1 mcatanzaro 2023-05-03 07:05:02 -0700 Your attachment actually gets parsed as HTML for me. What version of WebKitGTK? What version of shared-mime-info? You have the strings "xmlns" and "xhtml" in the first line of the input, so it's pretty reasonable for WebKit to treat the input as XHTML, and then the error is required because it is not valid XHTML. Remove that and it will probably work? Or you could try adding an HTML DOCTYPE. 1952626 2 mcatanzaro 2023-05-03 07:07:23 -0700 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 232471 *** 1952632 3 terry 2023-05-03 07:24:45 -0700 (In reply to Michael Catanzaro from comment #1) > Your attachment actually gets parsed as HTML for me.

The problem for me is I only have read access to the html files and I am validating cross browser and cross platform compatibility which only appears to be failing for webkit on ubuntu in this particular case. 1952634 4 mcatanzaro 2023-05-03 07:48:50 -0700 For avoidance of doubt: that input is malformed, and you cannot expect it to do the same thing on different platforms.
