I forgot to mention that it renders perfectly with Internet Exploiter (Explorer)...

Comment 2

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Um... The rendering is correct.  The page has a bunch of divs with a fixed
width, then a bunch of tables (which have to come below the divs).  None of
these items are floated, so the just stack vertically.

What is the bug, exactly?

Ummmm.  Did you compare it against IE?  Did you use today's build?  Look at the
attached JPG screenshot.

Comment 5

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Yes, I compared it to IE.  And what I see in Mozilla is exactly what your
screenshot shows.  And that rendering is correct given the HTML and CSS on the
page.  I have no idea why IE decides to render what it does, but if it's getting
sent the same HTML/CSS as Mozilla, what it renders is just totally incorrect.

Shervin Williams now does server side browser sniffing and gives a diffrent page
to IE6.  The page it gives Moz renders just fine.

Side note mozilla renders IE6's page fine except the menus does not work.
