After pulling the tree tonight, I noticed this page lays out wrong. I'm assuming
it's table related
Likewise, this page is wrong, too: http://www.city.net
There's some nasty looking messages on the debug output as well:
Area(td)(0)@0145A230: bad parent: maxSize WAS 5514480,1073741824

Summary: Table is way too wide → Table is not centered
Comment 2•26 years ago

The above url and www.city.net don't appear to be too wide any more. However,
putting a <table> inside a <center> needs some Nav4.5 compatibility work. The
simple example below illustrates the problem. I'm changing the summary and
reassigning this to Kipp.
<center>
<table border=1><tr><td>foo</tr></table>
</center>
Kipp says "Oddly enough, its a compatability bug, not a css handling bug. We now
conform to css's box model which states that "text-align" applies to "inline
boxes". Since a table is not an inline box, it isn't affected by the text-align.
We need a compatability hack to enable text-align (or some -moz-center property)
to apply in this situation..."
Kipp, sorry if I reassigned a similar bug to you before.
I've landed a work around for this problem so that tables are not treated
exactly the same as display: block elements. The result is that we may be
slightly non-conformant with CSS2...But its not clear!
I'm reassigning the bug to peter linss until the style spec issue is resolved -
should tables be alignable by text-align or not, or should we event a
"-moz-center" attribute for navigator compatability or what.
Once the final decision is made, peter can assign it back to me.
I've just checked in compatability code that supports nav4 behavior *and* CSS
behavior (at the moment nav4 behavior is on by default).
