25440 - Partially incorrect table rendering

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect, P3)

Description

[andrea]

I know that no one should use table for layout purpouse, but anyway most site
does, if you look at http://www.gazzettino.it with Communicator/Ie all table are
rendered correctly, but with Mozilla M13 the header is too short and each
element in the side menu too high.
I see similar problems in http://www.colettispa-arredamenti.com and
http://www.ambasciatori.it

On the main quoted URL, the reason for this is that the <table> tag for the 
offending table reads:

<Table... Width=100%ù>

Note the strange character at the end. If you remove this, and leave the rest of 
the page completely intact, the problem disappears.

Now, call me old-fashioned, but I think Moz probably shouldn't have to put up 
with random extended characters in HTML files ;-)

Can someone confirm my thoughts, then close this bug as INVALID?

On an amusing side note, checking out the second and third URLs in the bug 
report gives the following message (due to M13 not supporting Java):

"Warning: If after a few seconds you don't see any flag above, your browser is 
<U>really broken</U>. We strongly suggest you upgrade it..."

They don't have to rub it in ;-)

Having had no further input, I'm resolving this INVALID based on dodgy HTML - if 
Q/A disagree, please re-open :-)

Using 2/17 build, looks okay. Verifying invalid.
