In that page for the central table, they are using this syntax (abbreviated): <html> <body> <table border=1> <tr> <td> Appearance/Sounds </td> <td> Applications A-L </td> <td> Applications M-Z </td> </TR> <td> Computer Sounds </TR> <td> Auction Applications </TR> <td> Palm Pilot </TR> </TR> </table> </body> </html> So, the first row is formed as a row with three cells. But things go wrong in the next row: The first <td> implies a <tr> which is closed by the </TR> that ends that line ... which forms a row with one cell. The next <td> forms a new row, which is ended by the </TR>, and the last <td> forms a fourth row, and then the table ends. They are getting exactly what they have asked for. As far as I can see, there is no practical way to emulate this bug in IE and Nav4. But I'll pass this on to karnaze to mark as WONTFIX/INVALID (or not).

Actually this is a parser issue. It is up to Harish and Rick to decide whether to support this quirk behavior. Reassigning to Harish.

Mozilla definitely gets this correctly. I is certainly a WONTFIX.
