Bug 6854 – <b><div><div>bold </b> still bold

• Component: DOM
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Ian 'Hixie' Hickson]

In IE, this case:

   <b><div><div> X </b> Y

...has X bold and Y not bold. In Webkit, they are both bold.

Minor bug. I suggest not looking at this until the HTML5 Parser spec is ready and everyone can agree on the right thing to do.

From the code:

void HTMLParser::handleResidualStyleCloseTagAcrossBlocks(HTMLStackElem* elem)
{
    // Find the element that crosses over to a higher level.   For now, if there is more than
    // one, we will just give up and not attempt any sort of correction.  It's highly unlikely that
    // there will be more than one, since <p> tags aren't allowed to be nested.
...
}

So this is a known issue in the code.

Test case

Firefox 1.5 renders the HTML the same way that MSIE 6 does.
