Details
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011221 BuildID: 2001122106 At the top of http://www-3.ibm.com/software/speech/ appear no images or text belonging to those images. In Internet Explorer they do appear. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open http://www-3.ibm.com/software/speech/ 2. look at the top of the page 3.
I see this problem too, win98SE, 2001122703. This MIGHT be tech evang, but I can't see any obvious problem. Confirming, and I'll go dig around in the source to see what I can find...
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
OK, there are a couple of JS files referenced in the <head> of the page, which document.write() different <link ...> tags for style sheets, and I think the JS browser sniffing in them is duff. But I DON'T think that's the problem. There's a slab of code, which is meant to draw these images, and it looks like Moz is _completely_ ignoring it. The images don't show up in the right click->view page info window at all. Still digging...
Oh, Yuck. That page hangs the DOM inspector on my build. I'll log a new bug for that...
OK, after much digging, a reduced testcase (I'll attach this as a file in a mo): <!DOCTYPE html SYSTEM "http://www.ibm.com/data/dtd/v11/ibmxhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>IBM Voice Systems: ViaVoice Software</title> </head> <body> <table border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <!-- Start: Body Content -------------------------> <img src="http://t1d.www-4.cacheibm.com/software/speech/images/vs-home-title.gif"/> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </body> </html> The image doesn't appear. Removing the doctype declaration will make the image appear, as will either removing the HTML comment, or amending the comment so that it terminates with " -->" instead of "------>" My SWAG is that the doctype is triggering standards mode, which is then barfing because of the incorrect html comment termination. When it barfs, it wipes out a huge slab of the following code, but recovers sufficiently to continue further down the source file. Any HTML/XHTML gurus out there willing to confirm that I'm (hopefully) not talking rubbish?

there is still a gap under the IBM image in the top left. They have not fixed the image inline box model in the table although they were notified of it. old summary - different layout than in internet explorer; images won't be shown Comment fixed.
