Details

Given HTML resembling that below, the first table (nested, align=right) will have its contents lost, whereas the second (nested, align=left) will have its contents survive. <TABLE BORDER=5> <TR> <TD> <TABLE BORDER=3 ALIGN=RIGHT> <TR><TD> Inner Right </TD></TR> </TABLE> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <TABLE BORDER=5> <TR> <TD> <TABLE BORDER=3 ALIGN=LEFT> <TR><TD> Inner Left </TD></TR> </TABLE> </TD> </TR> </TABLE>
Well, I'll be. It does indeed 'disappear' for Nav4.51. However, there is no problem with 5.0. Given that this is a database for 5.0 .... chrisd?
Sorry. I should be more specific: I looked at the HTML above using Nav4.51 on Win95 and could see two tables: top one was 'empty', bottom one contained a table which contained the words 'inner left'. I also looked at the same HTML in viewer.exe Apr10 opt build on Win95, and in addition to the above, I also saw table inside the top table that contained the words 'inner right'.

The 2 tables in the test case look ok on a 4/11 optimized WinNT. Please verify on Win98.
Using 4/11 code, I was able to confirm (as the original submitter) that the bug is gone, although it does still exist in the 4.xx browsers (although that's not necessarily relevant here). Good deal. :) I'll let you guys close it if you see fit...
