Version: 3.5.6 (using KDE KDE 3.5.6) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux This is really a bug in khtml i think, inside a select if there is "<sp" or other open html tag the browser stops processing the page. example <option value="blabal" > bla </option> <sp </select> Gecko based browsers handle this fine.
Cannot reproduce. My test case: <html> Some text <select> <option value="blabal" > bla </option> <sp </select> more text </html>
Sorry, i didn't make that clear, you need to have no space between the <sp and the </select> like this: <sp</select> I've re-tested your test case: <html> Some text <select> <option value="blabal" > bla </option> <sp</select> more text </html And can confirm this is happening.
