In Opera, I only see a single line ( and single line number ) in my posted codeblock..
But, there's a superfluous <li> in the HTML close to the screwy '</span</span>' part.. So, there should really be another line number shown.
In Firefox 2, I see the same as MidiMagic, a pair of line numbers, with one over the other; but ONLY in this (unfinished quote) case and normally they are absolutely fine.
The browsers are dealing with the bad bit of data differently, which is unsuprising really, since 'correct' behaviour isn't defined. Opera hides the next <li> and spills blue from the unclosed quote to the end of the Daniweb page, Firefox squashes the next <li> and continues as per usual.
I thought there'd be quite a simple explanation, like the parser starting a blue span and not closing it.. that's what it looks like in Opera. Personally, I wouldn't rank this problem as 'high priority' if you're having trouble nailing it down.. It doesn't seem to be exploitable.
