118238 - When a page is placed in a frameset, centred content is not always centred correctly

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Images, Video, and HTML Frames, defect, P4)

Description

[Simon Harvey]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011221
BuildID:    2001122106

I use a frameset that places one button-bar above another to the left of the
screen. The content of both button-bars is centred (using the <center> tag) but
on only one button-bar -- the lower one, with larger buttons -- is the content
properly centred. The upper page, which consists of smaller buttons, has its
content offset to the left. I have overcome this by setting a left margin of 13
(which does not impair the page's appearance on IE), but this should not be
necessary. I have tried centring the page content in a table of 100% width, but
this has no effect: the smaller buttons are still offset to the left. To see the
workaround working, go to http://www.riverman.fsbusiness.co.uk/news.html

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.riverman.fsbusiness.co.uk/newsviz.html
2. Look at the left side of the screen.


Actual Results:  Centred content in top-left button-bar page is offset to the
left; content of bottom-left page is centred correctly.

Expected Results:  Both button-bars with centred content.

html frames or layout?

Comment 2

[R.K.Aa.]

WFM, current CVS, Linux.
Reporter: Are you still seeing this bug in recent builds?

Comment 3

[Simon Harvey]

Bug confirmed still present on build 031503 on W98.

1. Go to http://www.riverman.fsbusiness.co.uk/news.html

Small buttons in upper button-bar are centred, because I've added a 13px left
margin.

2. Go to http://www.riverman.fsbusiness.co.uk/newsviz.html

Small buttons in upper button-bar are NOT centred, being offset slightly to the
left: this is the normal situation encountered if no left margin is added.

WFM with 2002040403 on Win95

Confirming; I can see the buttons out-of-center in a fresh Linux CVS build.

Comment 6

[John Keiser (jkeiser)]

I see it maybe off like 2 pixels on WinXP 2002102908.

Comment 7

[Alexander Opitz]

Are this bug happens on newer builds? (1.4.1 or 1.5)

Comment 8

[Simon Harvey]

Seems OK on 1.5 (W2000), at least on the pages that alerted me to the problem 
initially.
