Details

this is a minimized test case derived from http://www.dogpile.com. Interesting behaviors: 1. if the begin/end tags inside the inner table are matched correctly, the table lays out correctly. 2. if the tags are left mismatched, but the outer <center> tag is removed, the table lays out correctly. test case: =============================== <HTML><BODY> <table border> <tr> <td valign=top> <center> <TABLE BORDER=1 WIDTH=100> <TR> <TD> <font size = "-2"> <center> inside </font> </center> </td> </tr> </table> outside table </center> </td> </tr> </table> </BODY></HTML>
