Details

This URL has a td with a background of 'graphics/bar2.gif', which matches up with the background displayed on the entire page. It, unfortunately, should not tile as it does across the entire page (1998-12-03 build).

Summary: Table background tiles across page → Table lays out completely incorrectly
Since idirect changed the index.html, the page no longer has trouble simply with the graphic - it is completely screwed up in laying out the entire page. The top bar (in 4.5) is some distance down the page, and the rest of the page does not lay out at all (white only).
Summary: Table lays out completely incorrectly → Page lays out completely incorrectly
Priority: P1 → P2
P1 bugs are reserved for crashes.
This page shows some (small) improvements with the parser updates, but is still largely broken (and the table background is tiling across the whole page, as before). No content is displayed.
The principal layout problem with this page is the same as described in #2270 -- basically <SCRIPT></SCRIPT> inside <TD></TD> breaks the table. There are a couple of other problems with the page once you strip this problem away, and I will write those up at some point. (The guilty <SCRIPT> is the inside the second <TD> of the second row; remove it and layout is OK). Perhaps this one should be marked as a duplicate of 2270 and the other bugs filed separately. (The other bugs are briefly 1) <FONT></FONT> wrapped around <IMG> seems to generate an "implicit <BR>" and 2) a problem with image widths fitting into a table row without wrapping (conflicting information on WIDTH attributes for the <TABLE>, the <TR>, and the sum of the <IMG WIDTH>)).

All the layout issues on this page are resolved. The page lays out reasonably well. There *is* an issue with the bottom table that is supposed to be centered; however thats a css vs. navigator compatability issue that I'm working with the css folks.
