Details

This page has *major* display problems. It looks like a nested tables problem, although it could be a parser issue. It was reported in mozilla-layout: >From: deands@my-dejanews.com >Subject: possible layout bug >Date: Tue, 29 Dec 1998 23:53:04 GMT >Resent-From: mozilla-layout@mozilla.org > >Win 95 NGLayout >Build downloaded on Dec 28 > >NGLayout doesn't seem to properly render the page below, while Communicator >4.5 does it properly. > >http://www.mozilla.org/stevecase.html > >Cheers

Summary: display busted → display busted -- "bad content in table"
(note: modified summary line) This is a dup of #1699 -- aka 'bad content in table' -- there are <P>s in between the <TR>s, and they close out the table wrongly. I have posted a "fixed" version of stevecase.html at http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~buslib/stevecase with a 'diff -c' of how to workaround the problem. However, (I note), in the comments of #1699, bug #1699 has been marked as a duplicate of #1474: This is *not* correct -- look at the test case earlier in the bug report of #1474 -- it is an instance of the <table width="nn%"> bug -- (n.b. there are a lot of duplicates of this bug in the db) The 'bad content in table' and 'table width="nn%"' are *distinct* (although, by their nature, they often travel together in pages with deeply nested tables, and can be confused with each other). The 'dup' of 1699-1474 should be backed-out of the database. Cheers .. John *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 1699 ***
