107640 - table layout incorrect, compared to IE/NS

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: Chinese-Simplified, defect)

Description

[Wenqing Jiang]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.5+)
Gecko/20011030
BuildID:    20011030

Go to the URL and scroll down, you'll see a large
blank area in the middle of the HTML page.  When
using IE, you can see the contents fit to each
other snuggishly.  (the page is in chinese text,
but that's not an issue or cause).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.open mozilla browser
2.type in http://www.sina.com.cn and return
3.ignore the strange characters (Chinese), scroll down
  a little and you can see a large blank area.

Actual Results:  A large blank area in the middle of the whole page

Expected Results:  all contents should fix together snuggishly.

This is the third time I report mozilla problem related
to table rendering.  The previous two have already been
identified and fixed.  I suggest doing a code review of
that portion, to see why it is so error prone.

Temporarily moving to future until a milestone can be assigned.

there are some definite issues with this website.  The charset for this page is 
defined as gb2312(Simplified Chinese) but the HTML Validator pukes on it saying 
there are several characters that arent gb2312.  Also, the page takes an 
increedible amount of time to load (on both IE and NS 6.x). I will try to make a 
simplified testcase.

We need to get moving on this bug. This is one of the bugs needed
for Netscape business. Please set it to the next milestone
if this is indeed a Mozilla bug. If not, we should move it
to the Tech Evangelism product.
(There are other problems on this site which will dealt with
in Tech Evangelism product.)
