Details

I just downloaded a nightly build (on 990121) and used the
viewer.exe app to browse around. I co-run a mud called Angalon so
naturally I tried the home page. I'm sure the Angalon home page is
not entirely correct html, but it renders fine under Netscape
or Internet Explorer.

Basically, the buttons ("About Muds", etc) are on top using the
viewer, while they ought to be on the left side of the picture of
the map.

By the way, if I'm clueless and reporting this wrong; I'll keep doing
it until someone mails me and tells me what I'm doing wrong
(or to stop :). If this gets anywhere I'd like feedback by email
too of course, but I know you guys are probably too busy.

Anyway, regards, and keep up the good work!

Rick, the content model is wrong. The A elements are all getting moved outside
the nested table

Actually, this is just another example of the residual style problem I've been
working on, and NOT a regression.
This is not a regression -- its just another case of the poorly formed content
handling bug.

I believe this is fixed with new changes to CNavDTD.

Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
Using 6.16.99 AM builds [all 3 platforms], this issue no longer takes place.

Verifying as fixed, as the site doesn't look like it's been significantly changed
based on the description in the bug report.
