1784 - Page lays out completely incorrectly

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Layout, defect, P2)

Description

[Joe Drew (not getting mail)]

This URL has a td with a background of 'graphics/bar2.gif', which matches up
with the background displayed on the entire page. It, unfortunately, should not
tile as it does across the entire page (1998-12-03 build).

Since idirect changed the index.html, the page no longer has trouble simply with
the graphic - it is completely screwed up in laying out the entire page. The top
bar (in 4.5) is some distance down the page, and the rest of the page does not
lay out at all (white only).

P1 bugs are reserved for crashes.

This page shows some (small) improvements with the parser updates, but is still
largely broken (and the table background is tiling across the whole page, as
before). No content is displayed.

[John Morrison]

The principal layout problem with this page is the same as described
in #2270 -- basically <SCRIPT></SCRIPT> inside <TD></TD> breaks the table.

There are a couple of other problems with the page once you strip this
problem away, and I will write those up at some point. (The guilty <SCRIPT>
is the inside the second <TD> of the second row; remove it and layout is
OK).

Perhaps this one should be marked as a duplicate of 2270 and the other bugs
filed separately.

(The other bugs are briefly 1) <FONT></FONT> wrapped around <IMG> seems to
generate an "implicit <BR>" and 2) a problem with image widths fitting into
a table row without wrapping (conflicting information on WIDTH attributes
for the <TABLE>, the <TR>, and the sum of the <IMG WIDTH>)).

All the layout issues on this page are resolved. The page lays out reasonably
well. There *is* an issue with the bottom table that is supposed to be centered;
however thats a css vs. navigator compatability issue that I'm working with the
css folks.
