Stage 3 of Challenge renders horribly in IE 6.0

Closed this issue · 2 comments

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Force browse to the last stage of the challenge in IE 6.0 on XP
2. Click a protocol. Click View 
3. Voila - mess!

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Something that will render nicely on all major browsers.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Latest from SVN. XP SP2 + all patches w/ IE 6.0

Please provide any additional information below.

When validating any page in WebGoat using "Validate Local HTML" using Web 
Developer toolbar, 
the w3c validation tool comes up with 332 errors for this stage. It's no wonder 
IE 6.0 has a pink 
kitten. 

I suggest instead of trying to please IE 6.0, let's get the page into shape 
from a formal standards 
point of view - no errors for the claimed XHTML 1.0 transitional doctype. That 
should make all 
browsers a bit happier, and most likely will fix IE 6.0's issues.

  • Changed state: Accepted
The rendering has been corrected.  The enormous number of HTML validation erros 
will 
not be fixed.  This page include the full page content of two other webpages as 
well 
as using the ECS framework for generating the HTML.
