Screenshot showing incorrect rendering of page
34.64 KB, image/jpeg
Details 
http://files.moo.ca/pics/xwd.jpg shows a picture of how mozilla (build ID
1999112608) rendered the given url. This was not what the page should look like
(and how it is correctly displayed under netscape 4.7, MSIE, ect.)

The problem is a simple typo in the DOCTYPE, there is a missing " before -//W3C:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC_html40/loose.dtd">

The page looks good when the typo is fixed. Note however that Nav4.08 and IE5
doesn't have a problem with this page. Reassigning to Parser.
I went and fixed the typo on this page (it is one of my own pages), but the
attached shot still shows what the problem was. I suppose I should be thankful
that it was just a minor error and not as major as it seemed at first. ;)

Ok -- I'll loosen up the parsing rules here just a tad.
