25005 - mozilla is not able to render this page at all!

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 24795

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Mo DeJong]

I built from the CVS today Jan 25 2000, on a Red Hat 6.0 Linux box (intel).
When I went to the above URL, I got some really strange results. The page
never seemed to fully load, some of the images were displayed but most of
the page would not render. You really have to see this one for yourself,
it is completely hosed!

When this page loaded the console displayed lots of messages like this.

ComboboxControl(select)(1)@0x42d0c3c8: WARNING: max-element-size:1425,345

I am not sure if that helps, but I thought I would add it.

Another zdnet page with LAYER? Wow, no, it's not. None of that. It looks like
ziff-davis is feeding mozilla some new-style HTML, and it isn't working the
best.

Testing this with the 2000-01-25-08-M14 nightly binary on Windows NT,
the page loaded eventually, if incorrectly, blanking once during loading as 
[e-mail] saw in bug 22185, "Mozilla M11 segfaults on the given 
URL", another zdnet page.

The middle and right columns of the main part of the page appear below the
left column, but the page otherwise looks correct. This could be just a 
missing end-tag on nested table code; I'll try for a testcase, but not right 
now. This looks like a DUP of bug 24795, "zdnet news articles don't appear on 
the page", ASSIGNED; but not marking as such, quite yet, on account of the
different results on Linux.

There are 7 other open bugs with zdnet in the URL field; it looks like some
of them are probably also DUPs of bug 24795.
