build 98112420, "Nov_24" on winnt 4.0 There is a cell in a nested table whose only contents consist of one gif sell_text2.gif that is drawn with 10-15 pixels of padding above and below. In communicator 4.x, this is not a problem. For reference, the image is a light tan bulleted list of 5 free things. It is only one week deep into home.netscape.com, so it's pretty visible to anyone who stops by ("try your hand at $25,000")

In what way is this a showstopper? It's a simple layout bug, not a crash or data loss or hang. We're not done yet, so there are going to be some layout glitches. I've removed the "ss:" designation from the summary. cc'ing Rick so he can override this decision if need be.

I think this is because of incorrect handling of <br> inside a cell. I think a <br> at the end of the cell content should be ignored, but it is not. See this simplified test case below. If you remove the <br>'s just in front of the </td>'s, the page lays out correctly. ================= simplified test case ==================== <HTML><BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffff" LINK="#000099" VLINK="#660099" ALINK="#CC0033" TEXT="#000000"> <TABLE CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0> <TR VALIGN="TOP"> <TD ROWSPAN=2 bgcolor="#CCCC9C">xxxxxxxxxxxx<BR></TD> <TD bgcolor=lightgrey WIDTH="1" HEIGHT="227"><hr WIDTH="1" HEIGHT="227" ALT="" BORDER="0"><BR></TD> <TD bgcolor=orange WIDTH="89" HEIGHT="234"><hr WIDTH="89" HEIGHT="68" ALT="" BORDER="0"><BR><hr WIDTH="89" HEIGHT="90" ALT="" BORDER="0"><BR><hr WIDTH="89" HEIGHT="68" ALT="" BORDER="0"><BR></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD colspan=5 valign=top><IMG src="http://home.netscape.com/holiday/images/sell_text1a.gif" WIDTH="446" HEIGHT="56" ALT="" BORDER="0"><BR></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD rowspan=2 valign=top><IMG src="http://home.netscape.com/holiday/images/sell_side.gif" WIDTH="152" HEIGHT="291" ALT="" BORDER="0"><BR></TD><TD colspan=5><IMG src="http://home.netscape.com/holiday/images/sell_text2.gif" WIDTH="446" HEIGHT="118" ALT="" BORDER="0"><BR></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD colspan=5><IMG src="http://home.netscape.com/holiday/images/sell_text3.gif" WIDTH="446" HEIGHT="173" ALT="" BORDER="0"><BR></TD> </TR> </TABLE> </BODY> </HTML>
