117421 - hometheaterhifi.com - one row of images overlaps another row of images

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

[Michael M]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.7+) Gecko/20011228
BuildID:    2001122808

I tested this page of Netscape 4.77 to see if it rendered coreectly, and then,
how it is to be rendered.
Under the heading "Component Analog Video Data", there should be three graphs,
one under the other. Then, under "Composite/YC Data", there should be three more
graphs, one under the other.
The way Mozilla renders is to place the entire contents from beneath the
"Composite/YC Data" (images and text alike) on top of the images from the
"Component Analog Video Data" section.
I had a look at the page source, and it appears to use the <div> tag
thereabouts, but I'm not one for HTML design.

Reproducible: Always

I can see this (Linux 20011228) 

The images are being drawn outside of the placeholder

Attachment: reduced testcase

the trigger is the height attribute of the div element

Comment 4

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

The first set of images is in:

<div style="background-color: #d9d9d9; background-repeat: repeat; 
background-attachment: scroll; width: 989; height: 44; border: 1.5pt solid 
#669999; padding-left: 4pt; padding-right: 4pt; padding-top: 1pt; 
padding-bottom: 1pt; background-position: 0%">

The important part is "height:44".  This means that the content that follows the 
images should start 44px below the top of the images (causing overlap).  It's a 
known bug in CSS support in IE and NS4 that they ignore the height directive in 
some odd circumstances, including this case.

Removing the "height:44" part will fix this bug.  Over to evangelism.

Same in every browser. I don't think this will be ever fix. If you are taking actions for fixing it. Reopen.
