(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030718

This page includes a list of 30 products. This displays correctly in Internet
Explorer. I've tried the version of Mozilla listed above on Windows 2000 and the
latest release (1.5rc2) on Linux and both have this problem.

With Mozilla, no text appears in the list, only the logo and the purchase
button. Only the top 5 items are visible, there is no scroll bar to allow the
user to see the rest of the page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit page
Actual Results:  
The page is missing information.

Expected Results:  
Displayed the list and displayed a scroll bar to allow the full list to be viewed.

website is very slow loading, Javascript console gave warning:
Warning: The stylesheet http://www.dabs.com/uk/templates/styles/uk/Styles.css
was loaded as CSS even though its MIME type, "text/html", is not "text/css".

From the source:

I have also seen this effect with Firebird 0.7 on Linux.

It is possible to get the full list displayed if the size of the browser window
is altered after the page has loaded.

It also appears that if the "Add to Basket" images are in the cache, the page
will display correctly.

It appears as if the table is laid out without knowing the size of the images
(no width and height attributes on image), and the scrollbar for the page is
calculated at that point.  As the images are loaded, the table layout is redone
(and is now taller), but the page scrollbar does not get resized.

I have a sneaking suspicion that this is due to IE-specific code, although I
don't have time to nail it down right now. The site has over 150 validation
errors from the W3C's validator, and the code Hermann posted is a good tipoff too.

while downloading a firebird nightly on ISDN, I revisited the URL.
Same behaviour as before, slow loading (not much bandwidth left by download),
DropDown menus are working now (Bug 221356) but list was showing one entry only,
couldn´t be scrolled, loading had finished.
Reloading the tab, after my download was done, gave me the full tab.
Maybe, because it was loaded from cache, maybe because the full bandwidth was
available (ISDN 64 kbit/sec).

After reading bug 222840 comment 5 I´m thinking may be this one could also be
duped to Bug 219220 Table overflow is not visible
