I am working on getting libmime integrated into NGLayout and there seems to be a problem with the way the Messenger HTML is being rendered. I have saved the HTML to disk and it renders correctly with IE4/NN4, but not NGLayout. The problem seems to be with nested tables.

Just to be a bit more specific, the text "THIS_WILL_BE_AN_IMAGE" should be to the right of the mail header information, not under it. Also the vcard information should be inside the table at the bottom of the message and not under an empty table. - rhp

this is a parser bug. The content of the bottom table is getting ejected from the table due to incorrect handling of the <DT> I think. Minimized test case: ============================================================ <TABLE CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 border> <TR ALIGN=LEFT VALIGN=TOP > <TD> <DT> Richard Pizzarro&lt;rhp@netscape.com&gt; </DT> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD> Architect Rich's Home Page </TD> </TR> </TABLE>

Fixed by latest update to parser.

Although the Summary indicates the problem is with nested tables, reading further in the comments, the problem seems to be a behavior problem when the DL element tag is omitted (the minimized test case was used since the URL listed is not valid at this time). Using the 3/11 build, minimized test case renders properly with the omitted DL element tag - that is, it assumes it needs a DL tag and renders as such. Verifying the bug fixed. Using the 3/11 build
