In the page at http://www.spillsbury.de, mozilla ignores first css-style
'standard'. After I inserted a dummy-style before standard it works properly.
I'm not the owner of this homepage, I had test it on a local copy.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto http://www.spillsbury.de
2. 
3.

Actual Results:  
Class style 'standard' isn't used, so the text has default size (13), which is
to high. You should see white spaces between the graphics on the left side.


Expected Results:  
No white spaces between the graphics elements on the left side.

Also happens with Mozilla 1.4 final.

That's because this HTML markup does not belong in the style sheet:
<style type="text/css">
<!--

-->
</style>

That's invalid code.  The only thing in a CSS file should be CSS code.

You might write to the site and ask them to fix the code.

Reopening.

Tech Evangelism bugs don't resolve invalid.  The idea is to document the need to
contact the site and ask them to correct the problem.

If you want to contact them, feel free.  It works better coming from someone who
actually uses the site than a "stranger".  You can refer them to this bug's URL
to see the problem and what the fix is.
