Details
* TITLE/SUMMARY Table from www.att.net is horizontally elongated in Gecko * STEPS TO REPRODUCE 0) Launch Apprunner 1) View the table at http://www.prometheus-music.com/gecko/attworldnet5.html * RESULT - What happened The "ZDNet's Software Library" text is pushed all the way to the right, and scrunched into a tiny column. Removing the "<TD>&#149;</TD>" cell results in a proper layout, as does removing the first <TR> entry. - What was expected Layout equivalent to IE 5, Navigator 4, etc. (text should be left-aligned.) It's possible that Navigator and IE are both just not following the standards here (Disclaimer: I haven't tried to figure out the table; it took enough time just decomposing the test case from a dozen or two tables on the page...!) * REGRESSION - Occurs On Mac OS Apprunner (3.29.99 optimized build) Win32 Apprunner (3.27.99 optimized build [NT 4, Service Pack 3]) Linux Apprunner (3.27.99 optimized build) - Doesn't Occur On Mac OS Communicator 4.5 (RTM) Win32 IE 5.0 * CONFIGURATIONS TESTED - [Mac] Power Mac 8500/120 (233 Mhz 604e), 64 MB RAM (VM on; 1 MB of VM used), 1024x768 (Thousands of Colors), Mac OS 8.5.1 - [Win32] Vectra VL (233 Mhz P2), 96 MB RAM, 800x600 (True Color), NT 4.0 SP3. - [Linux] Vectra VL (266 Mhz P2), 96 MB RAM. * HTML SNIPPET <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN"> <HTML> <BODY> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="100%"> <TR VALIGN="MIDDLE" ALIGN="LEFT"> <TD ROWSPAN="5">&nbsp;&nbsp;</TD> <TD COLSPAN="2" WIDTH="100%" BGCOLOR="#F5E066"> <B>Today Online</B><BR> </TD> <TD ROWSPAN="5">&nbsp;&nbsp;</TD> </TR> <TR VALIGN=TOP> <TD>&#149;</TD> <TD><A CLASS="clsLink" HREF="http://www.att.net/explore/software/">ZDNet's Software Library</A> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </BODY> </HTML>
Summary: Table from www.att.net is horizontally elongated in Gecko → Table cell from www.att.net is horizontally elongated in Gecko
Also, there is a bit of a platform parity factor here; on Mac OS and Linux (3.29.99 builds), the "Today Online", "Join Now!" and "Shop @ Market Square" nested tables are affected. On Win32, however, only the "Shop @ Market Square" nested table is affected.
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
[Just as a helpful FYI, this is still taking place, checked on the 4.20.99 Mac OS build.]

Build ID: 1996062708 This is a nightly build for Windows running on Windows NT with service pack 5. 4.3 GB HD. Pentium MMX 233 MHz. 64 MB RAM. I have not checked but I assume this problem is reproducible on all platforms after reading the comments below. [4.xP] This problem is not seen in IE 5 or Netscape 4.5. To reproduce this bug: 1) Launch Apprunner 2) Open up my attachment in Mozilla There are comments in the HTML file I attached, but I will summarize the problem again. To the best of my knowledge, when you have a 2x2 table e.g. A B C D and span A and B into one cell and set its width at 100%, Mozilla incorrectly renders cells C and D as if ONLY cell A had a width of 100%. This causes cell D to have a tiny width and thus wrap all the text that is inside. A and B are rendered correctly, but cells C and D are not. If Mozilla rendered this correctly, cell D should not be shrunk to a tiny width, but because Mozilla -thinks- that only cell A has a width of 100%, it tries to make cell D as thin as possible. Please email me if this bug is fixed, thank you.
The test case is 'bad HTML'. The % attribute value for <table> isn't quoted, as required. Additionally, % attribute values are not allowed on <td>. The bug is, rather, an issue for quirk mode. Removing the illegal WIDTH=100% in this: <TD COLSPAN="2" WIDTH=100%>A</TD> allows expected rendering. The same error is in <http://www.prometheus-music.com/gecko/attworldnet5.html http://www.att.net is a mangled, mushy markup mess. Bogus <!DOCTYPE...> leads directly into bogus markup, including yet another <TD COLSPAN="2" WIDTH="100%" BGCOLOR="#F5E066"> illegality. >
