Description Alan Cox 2005-09-19 17:34:39 UTC 
The expert page contains invalid markup. This prevents elinks from using the
expert mode, and the other mode contains javascript so can't be used either
Comment 1 David Lawrence 2005-09-19 17:37:32 UTC 
Will try to verify
Comment 2 Matěj Cepl 2007-04-02 15:03:05 UTC 
Bugzilla contains so much broken HTML, that it is hard to believe it (take a
look at http://tinyurl.com/292p95 -- for example, didn't anybody tell to
Bugzilla authors, that id is supposed to be unique in one page --
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/struct/global.html#adef-id ?). At
least when you are not able to produce valid XHTML 1.0 Strict, don't mark your
webpages as such!

This brokeness of web-pages makes it really difficult, if not almost impossible
to work around brokeness of BZ interface (or maybe just specific requirements of
this bugmaster) with Greasemonkey.

Comment 4 David Lawrence 2008-09-16 16:53:35 UTC 
Red Hat Bugzilla is now using version 3.2 of the Bugzilla codebase and therefore this bug will need to be re-verified against the new release. With the updated code this bug may no longer be relevant or may have been fixed in the new code.
Updating bug version to 3.2.
