FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-b92)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-b92, mixed mode)
FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
Microsoft Windows XP [versie 5.1.2600]
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I just wanted to tell you the Java documentation doesn't comply to the HTML standards... It kind of surprised me because that wasn't what I expected from you. Still though, if I run
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/index.html or
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/overview-summary.html through w3c's validator at
http://validator.w3.org/, it doesn't pass.
This doesn't nessecarily have to be that way - the document is perfectly well fit to comply to the HTML standards, however, it just doesn't. In most cases, it's only small bugs. I'll name a few:
- Multiple <body> tags in the document, or body tags at the wrong place.
- <b> tags within <a> tags (there can be no tags within an <a> tag, so they should be placed outside it).
- The API frameset is not defined as a frameset in the doctype, it should say blablabla... "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Frameset//EN" ...blablabla.
- There's no type definition in the <script> tags, it should be <script type="javascript"> or something.
I think that as a result of this the documentation shows up improperly in my web browser (Internet Explorer 6), because for some reason it always displays a horizontal scrollbar, which is very annoying because the a small part of the right side of the document is obscured because of that.
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Open documentation in Internet Explorer 6
2. See how there is a horizontal scrollbar
3. Validate the pages at http://validator.w3.org/
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
I expected there to be no horizontal scrollbar, however there is one.
This bug can be reproduced always.
