    It does in Firefox nightly development builds, and it will in Firefox 1.1, which should be out in a couple of months or so.

    Of course Slashdot could get a code cleanup before then...

    Haven't you been paying attention? Go and Google and you will learn that it was fixed in the mainline long ago, and you will also learn why it wasn't rolled in to FireFox 1.0.

    *sigh*

    because slashdot spits out garbage HTML that doesn't fit even the most lax of validation checks.

    slashdot's html was written back in 1997ish, and hasn't been updated since.
