Details

http://members.xoom.com/rootrider/index.html contains a table with a single row
and seven TD's that is used as a common navigation menu for each of my pages on
this site.
The very first time I viewed this page in the Developer Preview downloaded from
developer.netscape.com on 1/30/99, the table rendered perfectly. But after I
scrolled down to the bottom of the page and then clicked "go to the top", the
table rendered only the first four table cells correctly, with the fifth cell
rendered half in and half out of the main table "constraints". I then reloaded
the page, type the URL in manually, etc. but it the problem was still displayed.
(That's it...)

The bug described is the '<table width=nn%>' type of bug that is
(apparently) only seen on Windows for optimized builds. The good news
is that the Jan 29th build (Win95) appears to have fixed this problem
(whereas it was visible in every build up to and including Jan 28th).
The bug described is the '<table width=nn%>' type of bug that is
(apparently) only seen on Windows for optimized builds.

In cases with 'table width=nn%' and an IMG in the right-most TD, the
image sometimes seems to not appear. (I've also noticed this on
my.netscape.com, for example). If you do a resize (reflow), the image
"appears".

However, the good news is that the Jan 29th build (Win95) appears to
have fixed this problem (whereas it was visible in every build up to
and including Jan 28th).
Oops. Above entry applies to #2823. Sorry.

I can't seem to load this page either in 4.5 or the viewer. In 4.5 I get a
network error and in the viewer it never loads and gives a bunch of javascript
errors in the process.
Chris, I'm working on M3 bugs and won't be able to look at this immediately. It
would help if you could put the JavaScript errors in the bug report.

Severity: major → normal
Priority: P5 → P3
The javascript error is just a symptom of a blank document. The parser is
placing the body ahead of the frameset in the content model and the page appears
blank, because in a frameset document, the frameset must come first.

Rick: I've seen this problem before but can't remember the bug numbers. When it
gets fixed,  please check to see if the original problem still exists. I tried
just loading the problem document
(http://members.xoom.com/rootrider/_XOOM/rootrider/index.html) but it did not
exhibit the bad behavior that was reported.

JavaScript error: top.thePage has no properties

Line text: '(null)', Error text: '(null)'
Sorry that the page is inaccessible. XOOM introduced the "XOOMbar" yesterday
which essentially inserts an ad frame into each page. Since it just came out
yesterday (3/15/99), there seem to be quite a few bugs. I couldn't access my
site in both IE4 and Navigator 4.05 or 4.51. I have found, though, that if you
type in the complete address, with _XOOM inserted in the middle, the page works
fine. (ie: http://members.xoom.com/_XOOM/rootrider/index.html) Try it now.

Resolution: --- → FIXED
Checked in a fix yesterday ( Mar 17).  Should be able to view the page without
any problems. Marking the bug fixed.
Fixed in big script update.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
Using 3/22 build on Win 95, Win NT, Win 98, Mac85. and Linux, verifying bug
fixed in terms of the table rendering. However, there is another problem. If you
load the page, scroll down and click on the link back to
http://members.xoom.com/rootrider/index.html, the 1st frame is rewritten on top
of the last. If you keep clicking, the 1st fram will multiply. Will look into
this further on Tuesday.
To tell you truth, I haven't looked into this problem personally, but you might
also consider the fact that XOOM has implemented their ad system recently, so
this *may* be causing or helping the problem.
