From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530 BuildID: 2002053012 The table "Contribute to Our Site" on the main frame is placed to low, i think. It should be on the same level like the other two tables "Upcoming Events" and "Current News". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. goto the above link Actual Results: The table in the middle is placed to low. Expected Results: The table should be placed on the same level like the other two on left and right sides.
The problem is confirmed using hte latest Moz build, BuildID#2002080711. I fired up IE and it looked normal while the "Contribute to Our Site" table is pretty low. Fortunately, I'm a webmaster so I can read the programming code. I have come to the conclusion that the problem is not with Mozilla in my opinion. It is as result of bad scripting and as we know, Internet Explorer can easily ignore some bad scripting, therefore giving it a good appearance. I'll tell you why I came to the conclusion. There are some tables that are put inside one big table. It is like trying to catch the slippery soap in a bucket filled with a few more slippery soaps. In this case, The two tables, "Contribute to Our Site" & "Current News" are two seperate table and are being enclosed inside one big table. Those row and columns that hold those two table use rowspans. These script seem odd and the big table is like an elastic that hold everything together. It is just a bad scripting and it somehow allow the spaces inside the table column that affect the inner table, "Contribute to Our Site". I'll leave it to other people who'll take a look at it. I would say this bug best fit to the bad table scripting.
