I found this on the www.wired.com pages and have isolated it to the following
code example. It all started because the wired.com menu was 50% of the page on
mozilla and much smaller ~20% on N4.71(linux) and IE4(W98):
----------------------BEGIN CODE
<html>
<body>
<table bgcolor="green">
<!-- table color added so I could see better what was going on -->
<tr>
<form>
<td>
<input type="hidden" name="success_page" value="123456789012345678901234567890">
<input type="TEXT" name="from" size="10" value="enter email"> </td>
</form>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
-----------------------END CODE
If I repeat the form w/o the table tags, I get a normal rendering (i think, i
can't really tell)
If the value for the input 'failure page' is a continuous string without spaces,
then the form will expance accordingly - character for character. However, as
soon as one space in entered into the String prior to the second '2' then the
form will shrink.
That is to say.
If the Value = "12345678901 234567890" then it will render the same as if
Value="1 2 3 4 5 6 " (lots of spaces)
BUT
if Value = "123456789012 3456789" then it will render with space being used for
each character over some limit (11 characters), the form will expand with
whitespace. In the example given, you will get a considerable amount of Green
Space trailing the input box.
What this does to a site like www.wired.com is to blow up the right menu list
into a column which is ~50% of my screen.
I hope that this report has been helpful...
