Expected Results: Same text layout as IE6
IE6 won't permit <big>'s to go past <font size=7> (it ignores further nested <big> tags), but Mozilla does what the site author told it to do. It was decided in bug 206235 that this won't be changed. Please read that bug for more information about this issue. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 206235 ***
