The left margine of http://www.pilotgear.com is cut off. It seems to be cut by the new side bar on the left of Mozilla. If I resize the size bar more or less is hidden, but always a little. There has been some troubles at Pilotgear before with it's layout.
Holy nested, row-spanned, col-spanned table! ;) Good test of stuff. However, while this problem (clipping of left-hand margin) appears for 1999-05-05-08 and 1999-05-07-08, it is _not_ present for 1999-04-28-08 (all win95). (I have seen some comments that suggest that this is a known (recent) problem). The basic problem is: if the table fixed-width exceeds the view-window width, then centering of the table is done relative to the midline of the view-window (which means that clipping occurs on both the LH and RH sides of the view-window). <!-- set viewer.exe to width ~600px to see this --> <html><body> <table align="center" border=1 width="760"> <tr><td> This is a table with width=760 align=center </td></tr> </table> </body></html> [Note to asj@ipa.net: if there are other layout issues, you could file these as individual bug reports. Cheers.]

When I dump frames, the line containing the table has a negative x origin causing the table to get clipped. Using an image instead of a table doesn't result in the image being clipped. Reassigning to Kipp.

Fixed. Now if the element (table or whatever) is too wide then we will align it to the left margin if direction is ltr. If direction is rtl then we will align the elements right edge with the right margin.
