Firefox won't submit <form> in <iframe> if XHTML strict is on

Hello,

I discovered that Firefox ignores <iframe name="xxx"> for <form target="xxx"> if I set application/xhtml+xml as page content type.

See more here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18532115/posting-form-to-an-iframe-under-strict-xhtml-firefox

I believe this is a bug since other browsers behave the same way for either text/html or xhtml content type.

Maybe such bug is fixed in a newer version of firefox (you are running Firefox 21, somewhat behind in updates) see the article linked below for updating properly.

Do you see any security errors in the Browser/Error Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer;Ctrl+Shift+J) or Web Console?

This might be because the src of the frame is set to about:blank.

Please try the live example before posting worthless answers. It works when normal HTML mode is set.

Used the live example in Firefox 23, works in both modes.

For me the strict example open in a new tab and not in the frame. This happens with the current Nightly build and the ESR 10 and ESR 17 versions as well (haven't tested other versions), but works with Google Chrome.

@cor-el:

That's what I'm talking about. I wan't to know why it doesn't work properly and how to fix it.

Updating to 23.0.1 had no effect.
