Details

As of the build for today (12/23/98) this page layed-out strangely.
http://bignosebird.com/cgi-bin/clickout.cgi?http://www.reallybig.com/graphics.sh
tml%23216?reallybig
It looks ok in 4.5 win95 - check via that browser for reference.
This page exhibits two bugs:

1) first bug is similar to Bugzilla #1224, where a redundant <HEAD> is
contained inside a <TD>, which closes the TABLE prematurely. I have posted this
page in a repaired form (deleting the extra <HEAD>s), along with a 'diff -c' to
show which lines trigger the table bustage:

   base case --  http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~buslib/rb/reallybig.0.html
   fix - remove redundant HEAD tags
                 http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~buslib/rb/reallybig.1.html
   diff of the two above pages
                 http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~buslib/rb/diff-c.0-to-1.txt


2) After 'working-around' the first bug, the page still has a problem. There is
some strange interplay of having <FONT></FONT> wrapped around a <DT></DT> in
advance of a <DD></DD>. A further 'repaired' page (with a diff of the changes
required to avoid the table breakage) is at:

   fix - remove a <FONT> tag
                 http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~buslib/rb/reallybig.2.html
   diff of the above page and the previous "fixed" page
                 http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~buslib/rb/diff-c.1-to-2.txt

The following is a simple test case that demonstrates the bug in 2):
   ----------------------------------------
   <html><head></head><body>
     <!-- the BGCOLOR attribute is just to make the table breakage clear -->
   <table border="1" BGCOLOR="#ffcc00"><tr><td>
     <dl>

       <FONT>    <dt>Baz</dt>    </FONT>
       <DD>foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo</DD>

        <!-- if either 1) the FONT tag, or
                       2) the /FONT tag, or
                       3) the DD tag
             is removed ... no problem ... i.e., no table breakage
        -->

     </dl>

   </td></tr></table>
   </body></html>
