Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[Kirk Brocas]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030204

Not sure if this is an XML issue or a table issue.

MSDN developer library uses a tree menu that can be expanded or collpased.
Menu I am referring to is the lefthand frame.

When displaying with IE, the tree structure expands/collapses, showing the full
tree structure.

With Mozilla 1.0.2, 1.2.1, 1.3b it shows only the current level of the tree.

Sample table causing the problem:

<table border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>
	<tr>
	  <td><img src='/library/shared/deeptree/graphics/1pix.gif' height='10'
width='10'></td>  
	  <td><img src='/library/shared/deeptree/graphics/1pix.gif' height='10'
width='1'></td>  
	  <td><img src='/library/shared/deeptree/graphics/1pix.gif' height='10'
width='4'></td>  
	  <td><img src='/library/shared/deeptree/graphics/1pix.gif' height='10'
width='1'></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
	  <td><img src='/library/shared/deeptree/graphics/1pix.gif' width='10' /></td>
	  <td><a
href='deeptreedl.asp?dtcfg=/library/deeptreeconfig.xml&id=msdnlib1133&xmlsrc=/library/en-us/toc/msdnlib/msdnlib1133_.xml'
target='_self'><img border='0'
src='/library/shared/deeptree/graphics/jumpback.gif'/></a></td>  
	  <td><img src='/library/shared/deeptree/graphics/1pix.gif' width='4' /></td>  
	  <td nowrap><font face='verdana' size='2'><a
href='deeptreedl.asp?dtcfg=/library/deeptreeconfig.xml&id=msdnlib1133&xmlsrc=/library/en-us/toc/msdnlib/msdnlib1133_.xml'
title='Up One Level' target='_self'>Up One Level</a></font></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>  
	  <td><img src='/library/shared/deeptree/graphics/1pix.gif' width='10' /></td>  
	  <td><a
href='deeptreedl.asp?dtcfg=/library/deeptreeconfig.xml&id=msdnlib1143&xmlsrc=/library/en-us/toc/msdnlib/msdnlib1133_.xml'
target='_self'><img border='0'
src='/library/shared/deeptree/graphics/collapse.gif'/></a></td>  
	  <td><img src='/library/shared/deeptree/graphics/1pix.gif' width='4' /></td> 
<td nowrap><font face='verdana' size='2'><a
href='deeptreedl.asp?dtcfg=/library/deeptreeconfig.xml&id=msdnlib1143&xmlsrc=/library/en-us/toc/msdnlib/msdnlib1133_.xml'

	</tr>
</table>




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open URL
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/shared/deeptree/asp/deeptreedl.asp?dtcfg=/library/deeptreeconfig.xml&id=null&xmlsrc=/library/en-us/toc/msdnlib/top.xml
2. Navigate the tree in the left hand frame


Actual Results:  
Lefthand frame only shows the entries in the current level.

Expected Results:  
Should display the complete tree from root.

Bug occurrs in the default theme.

Comment 2

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

The page purposefully sends Mozilla and IE different HTML and JS.  (And there
are plenty of evang bugs on msdn.com; since none of them will ever be fixed (why
would MS do that?), just marking this invalid...)

Comment 3

[Kirk Brocas]

If user agent string is set to be IE6, I still get the same result - why is that?

Comment 4

[Sander]

Actually I think there's been some success in the past with getting the MSDN
pages browser-sniffer to be updated (specifically for the knowledge base
overlapping text problem) - reopen and to tech evangelism? (I haven't looked at
the code but I assume that what Boris said holds.)
