119189 - Page displays wrong with DOCTYPE - fine without

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 22274

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Lars Petersen]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011221
BuildID:    2001122106

This page: http://startsiden.telia.dk/~lap/witherror.php
Which conforms to XHTML 1.0 displays wrongly - see the page, you will notice
that the blue frame is broken four places.

The page: http://startsiden.telia.dk/~lap/withouterror.php
Is the same page, but without the DOCTYPE tag (quirky mode on?) - you will
notice that the breaks are gone...

As far as I can see, there is nothing wrong with the XHTML code, so it should
display correctly with the DOCTYPE.

The same error is of course in Netscape 6.x

The page (with the error) displays correctly with netscape 4.08, ie and opera...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Mozilla on URL: http://startsiden.telia.dk/~lap/witherror.php


Actual Results:  A layout error is produced - Four breaks is in the table.

Expected Results:  Layout should be as coded - The breaks should not be there.
See http://startsiden.telia.dk/~lap/withouterror.php for how it is supposed to
look (this page is without the DOCTYPE tag).

This is because of bug 22274. Mozilla is right, read the bug for how you can fix it.

Yep, also see http://developer.netscape.com/evangelism/docs/articles/img-table/
for an article on how to fix this.
