From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Description of problem: The fedora download/update/development RPMS web pages have html and CSS sytle sheet errors. The errors are such that the mozilla browser either hangs or cannot completely render these pages. Mozilla.org has a fix (http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=225848) to handle improperly formed web pages, but the responsibility should not be theirs alone. The http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub site should conform to W3C standards and be able to pass the validation tests available at http://validator.w3.org. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mozilla-1.4.1-18 mozilla-1.5-1 mozilla-1.6b How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enter http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/1/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/ into mozilla 1.4.1 browser. 2. Use any web brower and go to http://validator.w3.org. Enter uri from step 1 into "Address" field and click "Validate URI" 3. Again using any web browser go to http://validator.w3.org. Click "CSS Validator" link on right side of page. Click "Validate your cascading style sheet by URI". Enter uri from step 1 and procede with validation. Actual Results: 1. Mozilla hangs or renders incomplete page after minutes of waiting. 2. Web page fails W3C validation 3. CSS style sheet fails W3C validation Expected Results: 1. Mozilla browser to render web page in seconds, not in minutes or hanging. 2. Fedora web pages pass W3C validation. Additional info:
I've never seen this problem.
The mozilla bug has been fixed upstream. There was some discussion on fedora-devel-list about fixing the webpage as well. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2005-March/msg01517.html This bug can be closed though since its about the browser issue.
