137642 - Nested tables on page aren't rendered properly. Thus, page's content cannot be read completely

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[Pekka Jalkanen]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020311
BuildID:    2002031115

In the page at http://www.hyy.info/index.html Mozilla cut's the page from the
middle of it and does not render it completely. When the page is entered, it
first looks good, but when it's scrolled downwards the obvious truth can be
realised... Problem does NOT occur with Mozillas prior to 0.9.6, and neither
with IE. Problem occurs even after the page's source is fixed and validated
against DTD.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Enter www.hyy.info
2. Scroll the page downwards. The problem occurs
3. Page uses quirks mode and it's code includes horrible mistakes, so to make
sure it's really a bug, do following:
a) download /index.html and put to your own server
b) add doctype HTML 4.01/Transitional/EN
c) fix problems in code until it passes w3c's validator
(code already fixed & w3c-validated by me can be obtained at
http://www.ky.hkkk.fi/~k70467/hyy.html)

Actual Results:  Despite the altered (fixed and validated) code and the fact
that it now uses standard layout mode instead of that quirks one, the problem
still occurs!

Expected Results:  Render the page properly & completely...

The language of the page's content seems to be only Finnish; for those vast
majority of people who can't read it it's perhaps useful to note that the note
at the bottom on the page says that it's optimised for IE5, NS6 and over. It is
indeed rendered perfectly with IE (seems to be done with Frontpage), but it also
worked well with Mozilla 0.96 and OLDER! Of 0.97 I don't know, but 0.9.8 and
0.9.9 (the buil I've now) no longer render it properly. I've tested with
0.9.5-0.9.6 and 0.9.8-0.9.9 under both Red Hat 7.2 and Windows XP Pro.

Page does not quite render the same as IE6 under build 2002041503, Win2000.

Right-centre table has different layout - under IE the text wraps all images.

Does not suffer the same major problem that 0.9.9 did though with a 'corrupt'
table at the bottom of the page.

 Confirmed! the text is not lined up correctly in Right-centre table in the
given URL.

I just got RC1 installed and the problem seems to be gone, so this is probably
duplicate to some other, which has already been fixed. I've also now removed
that page: http://www.ky.hkkk.fi/~k70467/hyy.html (but of course you can still
test with original page if you wish).
