23735 - s-one.net.sg - Table arrangement problem

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English Other, defect, P3)

Description

[robin.hood]

The "table" in the content frame, especially the third column, seems to be
misarranged. It is viewed correctly in Netscape 4.7 so I think you might be
interesting to know about this issue.

Also, there still seems to be some gitches here and there. See
`home.netscape.com' and you'd see a padding right to the `netscape netcenter'
logo misaligned. again, it looks fine in Netscape 4.7 browser.

sorry if you're already informed of a similar issue.

[John Morrison]

Thanks for filing this bug. (Don't take the resolution badly; it's just the
prescribed resolution for bugs that use the Netscape 4.x <LAYER>, <ILAYER> and
document.layers features:

 Mozilla has implemented support for the DOM defined by W3C, and will not
implement support for the these 'LAYER' features. See
http://sites.netscape.net/ekrock/standards.html for details.

All the content in this page is wrapped inside two layers, which are used to
position sets of nested tables.

  <LAYER NAME="Left"  LEFT="0"   TOP="0" WIDTH="500"> etc., ... </LAYER>
  <LAYER NAME="Right" LEFT="500" TOP="0" WIDTH="130"> etc., ... </LAYER>

 So, given the above, I'm marking this bug INVALID.

(Note: javascript is used to conditionally insert a positioned <SPAN> for IE4.
If these SPANs are changed to DIVs that are conditionally inserted for Mozilla,
then this page lays out perfectly -- i.e., not so painful a change.)

[Although, (side note), if you use the SPANs intended for IE4, the layout *is*
wrong -- I would have expected the span to not contain/distort the tables, but
it looks like it does -- hmm, if there is a problem on *this* point, I will
file a bug or find an existing DUPL).

To be clear, the contents of the right-hand column are place beneath the
contents of the main set of tables -- as if the <LAYER> tags did nothing --
which is precisely what mozilla is supposed to with these containers.

Verified invalid.

Comment 4

[ekrock's old account (dead)]

Moving all [LAYER] bugs to Evangelism component for tracking and open-source
evangelism by mozilla community members of sites that need to upgrade to support 
web standards such as HTML 4.0 (instead of LAYER/ILAYER) and the W3C DOM
(instead of Nav4 document.layers[] or IE document.all()). Sites should be
lobbied to do the upgrade using the email templates that are linked to from
http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/bugathon.html#layerbugs . When a site's owner
has confirmed receipt of the message requesting an upgrade, the bug should be
marked with the keyword evangelized to indicate that evangelism for that bug is
complete. When the site finishes the upgrade and supports standards, the bug
should be closed.

Reopening to register fact that this page probably isn't yet upgraded (until it 
is, at which point we'll close the bug). evangwanted. Clearing cc:s as a
