The KALX web page is supposed to be composed of a couple columns. The first is a list of links such as "Listen Now!", "Schedule", "Info Kiosk", etc. The second column has text like "Fundraiser Coming SOON!", "DJ Faves of 2000", "KALX Live!", etc. Mozilla renders all of this as one big column so that what should be the second column appears underneath the first column. Both NN4 and Opera can render this page OK, and I would swear that Mozilla used to be able to as well. I would expect Mozilla to render the page as does NN4 and Opera. Tested with Mozilla trunk build 2001092906 on Linux.

left floated table and right floated table colliding in Quirks mode (but not is in standards mode). cc'ing waterson and dbaron for their floater experience.
cc'ing hixie: hixie, you know of anything we do differently with floaters in standard mode?
This is a regression. A July 5th trunk build of Mozilla displays the KALX page OK. When I have more time, I will try to narrow down when it stopped working.
The only standard/quirks difference with floaters I can think of is that in quirks mode we don't "wrap" floating *tables* -- that is, if two floats don't fit, we don't push the second to the next line. So I guess something could have partly broken that code.
The only other float quirk I can think of is when printing attribute-floated tables (we unfloat them). Wouldn't explain this though.

This one depends on how bug 122200 gets solved. However if we just backup Watersons change we make things worst here though.

No longer blocks: 122200
Won't fix since HTTP://KALX.BERKELEY.EDU has <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN"> at the top. They should use <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> and the fix for bug 122200 will fix this one too if we land that fix.
