problem: on nova and msie4.x, the text next to the image of billg is entirely
to the right of bill's head, but on seamonkey, all platforms, it is laid out
BELOW his head.
expected behavior: it should layout to the right, (and not just the first line
of text)
Summary: [pp]99020412 text next to bill's head is below picture → 99020412 text next to bill's head is below picture
Target Milestone: M3
Summary: 99020412 text next to bill's head is below picture → left aligned, anchored image causes strange layout
ok. here's the rub:
Problem:
in general, an image that is aligned left and is surrounded by an
anchor tag will start flowing the rest of the html at the bottom
right hand side of the image instead of the top right hand
side.
expected behavior:
the anchor should not have any effect on the layout of text.
the testcase at http://wetnap/seamonkey/bugs/bug2932.html
has a side by side comparison of HTML with and without the anchors.
they should be indistinguishable, but they are not. (this is not a
table bug)
platforms tested:
redhat 5.2 build 99020914
macos 8.51 build 99020914
nt4.0 sp4 build 99020915
other urls:
the above url and the following HTML is reduced from
microsoft's homepage, a page that uses this type of layout alot.

HTML snippet:
this is a super minimized testcase. presented as an alternative
the the busier, anotated testcase above.
( source: http://wetnap/seamonkey/bugs/bug2932a.html )
<HTML><BODY>
<table border=1>
<tr>
<td><IMG SRC="x" ALT="no_anchor" ALIGN="LEFT" WIDTH=72 HEIGHT=32 BORDER=2>
no_anchor no_anchor no_anchor no_anchor no_anchor no_anchor no_anchor
no_anchor no_anchor no_anchor no_anchor no_anchor no_anchor no_anchor
no_anchor no_anchor </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><A href="x"><IMG SRC="foo.img" ALT="anchor" ALIGN="LEFT" WIDTH=52
HEIGHT=32 BORDER=2></a>
anchor anchor anchor anchor anchor anchor anchor
anchor anchor anchor anchor anchor anchor anchor
anchor anchor anchor anchor anchor anchor anchor
anchor anchor </td>
<tr>
</table>
</BODY></HTML>
even simpler testcase:
<html><body><h1>look <a href="at">at</a> this!</h1></body></html>
"look at this!" should be in the heading, but only "look" is. "at this!"
is treated as if it is not the child of the heading.
is this a parser bug?
