In the page at http://www.chaeron.com/gryffyn/mozilla.html, the menu is rendered
way down near the bottom of the page with Mozilla.  All other browsers seem to
properly calculate the rowspans and row sizes, and show the cell with the menu
at the top of the page (as the align="top" should do).

A correct view (with HTML changed to work around this bug) can be found at

Thanks!

Can you attach a minimized testcase? And does the problem occur in a new build?

I see the problem with trunk build: 2002-11-15-12 on WINXP.

Attachment: Testcase

The align=top that you mentionned (actually, valign=top) only positions data
within a cell, it does not position the cell. Not in Mozilla, nor in IE.

The problem here is that in IE, the bottom left column takes all the extra
room, while in Mozilla, the top left column takes all the extra room.

The rowspan rendering error display correctly in the Macintosh build.
