The URL from above is misleading. Therefore I am attaching 2 screenshots to show page rendering on Firefox 1.0 and the same page rendered with Firefox 1.5 beta 1 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.create an account with e-trade.com ( if you do not have one already 2.login to the account 3.observe the rendering of the table on the RIGHT side of the page (ALERTS) Actual Results: page (table) is rendered wrong) Expected Results: page should be rendered right my veriosn of the Firefox 1.5 beta 1 was compilled from the source, because there is NO binary download for the REDHAT 8.0

What makes you think the table is rendered wrong? It sure looks different, but this does not necessarily mean it is wrong.
You are right. The table is not necessary wrong. It is just unpleasant to work with it , difficult to read ( without using horizontal scroll bar), it is positioned too far away from the main body (gap between main table and ALERT table is too wide). But it IS pleasant to work with it on MSIE on W2K, FF1.0 on RH ES3.0, FF1.0 on RH8.0, FF1.0 on RH WS 3.0, mozilla 1.01 on RH8.0/9.0, mozilla 1.4 on RH6.2, mozilla 1.7 on solaris, Konqueror 3.03 on RH8..0, Konqueror 3.1 on RH9.0 and opera on RH6.2. Ooops, I have almost forgotten. It could be that web developers at etrade did not follow W3C standards as well just prior of the release of FF1.5b1. You never know. Maybe they decided to break FF1.5. There are many things which coould/can go wrong. Do the math. Thanks
Since I am NOT a WEB (HTML) developer, I do not know how to reduce the source code down to the essential snippet which would reproduce the unpleasant behavior (perhaps, wrong behavior) of the site. So, here it is the complete sanitized code which exhibits the unpleasant behavior on FF1.5b1.

Please leave this bug in the Core product: Firefox is just a frontend using the shared Core rendering engine.

Martijn, would you be willing to create a testcase here?

When I remove the strict doctype, the layout becomes fine or when I remove all nowrap attributes, the layout becomes fine. So I think this is a result from fixing bug 277232.
So this is Tech Evangelism. The webmaster(s) should either remove the strict doctype or remove the nowrap attributes.
