    Description

      Here's a short bugzilla discussion between me and my UI engineer...

      The following line:
      <div class="photo_frame" title="ognl:'invite ' + invitee.username" jwcid="@Any"></div>

      outputs the following code in "view source" using Firefox 1.5.0.12.
      <div title="invite jkassis" class="photo_frame" id="Any_1" />

      The problem is with the way the div is terminated. For Firefox to function
      properly, divs need to be terminated like so <div contents></div> and not <div
      contents />

      It tends to generate very hard to track down browser rendering bugs.

      I can't give you any more guidance about why this is happening or where else it
      may be happening right now, but please check it out when you get a chance.

      This source looks OK. Only thing remarkable about it is that it is an @Any
      component with no body content. Tapestry may by trying try to save characters
      by rendering it in the shorthand form.

      Not much I can do about this but put an   in there. Thankfully, this kind
      of code (a <div> with no body content) shouldn't happen too frequently.

      yeah, that fixed it. before we close it though... do you want to mail howard
      or the tapestry mailing list about this? If his code DOES truncate divs to
      save space, it's a pretty big Tapestry bug since truncated divs don't render
      properly on Firefox 1.0 or 1.5. I also seem to remember a few other browser
      choke on that, possibly Opera. It would help us and other developers if the
      Tapestry framework didn't do this type of thing.

      Anyways, log it with the Tapestry list or don't. Your   hack fixed the
      problem (for now).
