If one goes to the Computer User home page (http://www.computeruser.com/index.html) and clicks on most any news story, chances are that the display will fall out of page to the right. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to http://www.computeruser.com/index.html 2. Click on a News story 3. Actual Results: The story displays, but it falls out of page to the right. Expected Results: Text should be contained within screen area.
This site is coded like *c...* ! Just try this page http://www.computeruser.com/news/02/11/19/news4.html - first news header when I go to the site in W3C HTML validator, http://validator.w3.org/ You should be amazed when you see the report. :-/
It might be badly coded, but still this renders fine in Netscape 4, IE 6 and Opera 7 beta.
browsing the page with mozilla on linux, i see some lines stretch over 13 pages, they consist mainly of little squares, but in between there are whole words, like "MONACO", "BST", "Confidential", "Helvetica" and also what looks like binary garbage; "›¹þ•á" The longest of these line is after <p>Reported by United Press International.</p>
Loading it in emacs shows this after the mentioned quote: <font class="elevenptnormal">Reported by United Press International.</font></p> <font class="elevenptnormal">
my paste of this didn't survive in bugzilla. Trying a screenshot instead.
I mailed computeruser.com's webmaster 9 hours ago, asking why all their stories contained seemingly garbled, code. Haven't had a reply, but I see the stories look OK now - no more weirdness. (It looked weird under MSIE6 as well, allthough not too wide pages, the pages had lot of funny stuff that obviously wasn't intended for display.) Reporter: Can you check the page again and tell how it looks now?
Looks OK now (2002111808/NT4). From the garbled code screenshot, it's obviously the site problem. ==> WORKSFORME. Please reopen if the problem reappears.

Fresh from the Reporter: Yes the pages do look fine now (Build 2002111808). Whatever was done to fix it, thanks.
