Chris-- I've included a snippet from messagemates.com, where the table (which is
very simple, first lays out right, then disappears. This could be yours or it
could be Kipps.

<BASE HREF="http://stuart.messagemates.com/">
<html>
  <body >
    <table border="0" width="550" cellpadding="0">
      <tr>
        <td valign="top" align="center" rowspan="2"><img
src="images/space150.gif"></TD>
        <TD valign="top" align="center" colspan="2"><IMG
src="http://209.85.89.183/cgi-bin/cycle?host=h0007398&amp;b=1" border="0"
align="center"></TD>
      </TR>
      <TR>
        <TD valign="top" align="center" width="300">
        <TABLE border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0">
          <TR>
            <TD width="300" colspan="2">

            <TD valign="top" width="50%">MessageMates can build your company a
custom MessageMate!</TD>
          </TR>
        </TABLE>

It looks ok on optimized 4/27/99 WinNT.

Although the url is no longer valid, I probably used the url and Rick's test
case, so please verify against that.

Tested with 5/20 Apprunner. Using the snippet, when the page loads, the text in
the second row does not display. Only the image and the 'cell' in the nested
table display. Once you reload, then the document displays properly.

Reopening bug.
Whiteboard: [TESTCASE]
Created a testcase for this based on rickg's snippet. Some of the image URLs
were no good, so changed the src to point to similar images I put at
sites.netscape.net.

I see the described behavior under M7/Linux. The text *does* display initially,
but when the table is reflowed as images are loaded, the nested table in the
first column of the second row usually gets resized out of existence.

When I turned on borders in the nested table (see second testcase), it would get
truncated, but not disappear entirely.

As indicated, a reload of the page will do the right thing (perhaps because the
images were cached?).

I'm not seeing the problem on WinNT debug. ChrisD, please verify on Linux per
7/1 comments.
