I'm sure this has been reported before, but here is another webpage with overlap
issues. I see the overlap where it says "Welcome to My 350Z".

I'd bet money there's a <div> element with a `height' specified on it.

The table inside <div align="center" style="width: 557; height: 21"> is causing 
the problem. I couldnt find a dupe in tables component.

This is not a bug, just a badly written page which happens to display as
intended in certain 'other browsers' (IE) - on the other hand, Opera displays it
correctly i.e. with overlapping. Undoubtedly the designer only tested it in IE -
the GENERATOR meta for the page is Microsoft FrontPage 5.0!

The culprit is line 316: <div align="center" style="width: 557; height: 21"> -
this element is then given content whose height far exceeds 21 pixels. For some
reason IE lets the content increase the height of the box, when it should stay
fixed at 21 pixels.

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visufx.html#overflow-clipping is normative on how
to handle boxes whose content overflows their explicit height. Mozilla is
handling this correctly.

I move this bug be resolved as invalid.
