142600 - XHTML table rendering bug?

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 22274

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Doug Porter]

While updating www.progeny.com to be XHTML 1.0 Transitional compliant I ran into
a small glitch.  Please see the preview site at
<URL:http://greymalkin.progeny.com/>.  If using a recent version of Mozilla you
will note that the header on all of the pages doesn't quite look right.  Extra
vertical space is being stuck in the header making the page look quite bad.  I
have tested several other browsers such as Internet Explorer, Konquerer, and
Amaya, and all of them render the page as I desire.  I have put some screenshots
up at <URL:http://hackers.progeny.com/~dsp/mozilla-bug/> to show the behavior of
the various browsers.  I apologize if this is not infact a Mozilla bug, but my
own stupid mistake.  Thanks for looking into this.

By using that doctype identifier, you are basically telling mozilla to ignore
all attributes like valign, height, width etc that are now deprecated.  Without
further inspection I would say there was no bug here.

Doug, this rendering as-designed... See bug 22274 for discussion about why we
render this way in standards mode (which is triggered by your doctype) and what
CSS you want to use so that this will be rendered the way you expect.
