While browsing the Nvidia website in MSIE the toolbar buttons are right next to
each other along the same vertical plane.  However in Mozilla they're spaced out
at an inconsistant interval and have unequals top values.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
(On Windows 2000 SP3)
1.  Start Mozilla 1.21 
2.  Paste the following URL into the address bar:
http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=winxp-2k_41.09
3.  Press Enter
4.  Move your mouse over all the buttons once

Actual Results:  
After Step#3:
The page loads with the buttons spaced out far apart across the horizontal
plane.  The top position of the buttons also varies.  

After Step#4:
The buttons move more inline with where they are supposed to be.  However the 

Expected Results:  
After Step#3:
The buttons should have loaded right next to each other along the horizontal
plane.  

After Step#4
While the buttons do move closer together you'll notice that the Home and
Download buttons are still lower than they should be.  Those two buttons should
be in line with the rest of them running across the top of the browser's display
window.

Christian: thank you for such a thorough report!

Reassigning to Browser-General until we can get further information.
This is not likely to be a bug in the JavaScript Engine.

Christian: I notice your build is rv:1.2.1, Gecko/20021130.
Would it be possible for you to get the latest trunk build?

I'm not seeing the bug with my trunk build: 2003022808 on WinNT.
When I do Help > About Mozilla, here is my version:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030228

Also compare bug 193339, "Can't select an option on the menu of nvidia page,
the problem of the position is now fixed, but a new bug as appeared"

Netscape != Mozilla ;)

WFM too - 8 hours old (need to make a new one !) CVS based build, WinXP-Sp1.

But I am facing bug 193339 too.

The good point is that menu is visible and well set-up :-)

This WFM on the 20030908 trunk build. Christian, do you still see this behavior
on a recent build (and if necessary, a clean profile)? To me it looks like
nvidia has either cleaned up their site, or the problem was fixed in another
Mozilla bug. If you do not see the problem, please resolve as WORKSFORME. Thanks.

Hi Guys,
Although I'm also unsure about the cause of the website working in Mozilla:
A.  Mozilla has been improved
B.  The website's code has been improved

but whatever the cause this bug is outta here.  
Cheers,
Christian

A bug is FIXED only if there's a patch specifically checked-in for it. The res.
