Reporter said by email: you didn't read the original bug. it rendered identically because it is broken in BOTH versions of netscape. (4.7 and 6 pr2) i'm not trying to sound like i'm insulting your company, but Internet Explorer is just a highly superior product. i've attached a very simple html file that illustrates the problem. it works in Internet Explorer, it does not work in any version of netscape. i'm assuming you're a programmer so this may seem insignificant to you, but as a web designer and developer, it's just one of many reasons why i prefer IE over any netscape product. apparently most web users agree with me. i have many "netscape workarounds" that i have to use because i develop cross-browser pages. however this makes the html heavy and convoluted. it's bad news all-around. please fix the bug... when you're finished, if you want some more advice from an anal designer like me, i've got more bugs i can show you. if not, then have a nice life and i'm sorry that i was a pain in your ass. james craig

James - my apologies, I didn't read your bug report carefully enough. This bug is, in fact, a duplicate of bug 46268 (which is, admittedly, a newer bug, but has more information in it.) The reason Mozilla renders the page like NS 4.x (i.e. incorrectly) is that, if the DOCTYPE on the document is HTML 4 Transitional, it renders pages in "Quirks mode" - i.e. like NS 4.x. If you change your testcase to have a strict doctype: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd"> then it will render correctly in Mozilla. The bug that I am marking this bug a duplicate of will, when fixed, cause Mozilla to render this like IE in Quirks mode, rather than like NS 4.x. In the mean time, you can do the above to get your pages to render correctly. I hope this is helpful :-) Please feel free to file more bugs against Mozilla - however, please check that they are not duplicates by searching the database, and also that they render incorrectly with a strict DOCTYPE. Thanks :-) Gerv *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 46268 ***
