Looks float-related at first glance.

Except that it's invalid, since the floats have an explicit height, but then
have larger content.  WinIE doesn't support 'height' properly (it treats it as
'min-height', so the bug doesn't show up there).

The page should remove the specification of 'height:...' in places like:


            <div align="right" style="float: right; width: 178; height: 348">
              <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="175"
id="AutoNumber1" height="555">
                <tr>
                  <td width="100%" bgcolor="#FFFFCC" height="565" valign="top"><b>
                  <font face="Arial" size="2">Features &amp; Benefits
Summary:</font></b><ul>



and:



            <div align="left" style="float: left; width: 194; height: 555">
  <table border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse:
collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="175" id="AutoNumber1" bgcolor="#FFFFCC">
    <tr>
      <td width="100%">
      <p align="justify"><font face="Arial" size="2">Thanks for all

email from Gregg: 

Sent a full explanation of the problem on August 18 to the email address on the
site which appears to be for the webmaster.  Received no reply and the display
on the page is still broken.  Sigh~~~

Will mark assigned and set milestone for follow up.

Found this additional instance of text and tables not cooperating. Visually the
problem looks similar. View/Source reveals no float properties in use.

ffbugreport, there are lots of issues on the eu page due to MSIE only content
like vml, ms office type style rules, macromedia dreamweaver 3 scripts which do
not support Mozilla and need to be updated to version 4. The reason you see the
overlap is due to the explict setting of height which in MSIE is broken and
treats height as min-height. 

This is a separate evangelism issue and should have its own bug. You can point
the EU web developers to this bug if you wish.

INCOMPLETE due to lack of activity since the end of 2009.

If someone is willing to investigate the issues raised in this bug to determine whether they still exist, *and* work with the site in question to fix any existing issues, please feel free to re-open and assign to yourself.

Sorry for the bugspam; filter on "NO MORE PRE-2010 TE BUGS" to remove.
