Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Corentin BARON]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; fr-fr) AppleWebKit/125.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/125.9
Build Identifier: 

At http://tribuducollet.free.fr/index.php?module=cal, the calendar table should be just under the year 
selection links, but when it occurs to appear, it goes far, far at the bottom of the page. The bug has 
been reproduced with Mozilla 1.0 on Debian GNU Linux, Mozilla 1.6 on Mandrake Linux 10.0, Camino 
0.8 on Max OS X, and Mozilla 1.7.3 on Mac OS X. Note that KHTML correctly renders this page, which 
has been validated on the W3C's HTML Validator page.

Good luck with this one, I hope I've been clear on the description.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://tribuducollet.free.fr/index.php?module=cal
Actual Results:  
Calendar table hardly shows on the page.

Expected Results:  
See how Konqueror or Safari render this page.

It seems that the problem comes from the CSS engine (the stylesheet used on the site mentioned above 
is also valide).

Short story:

1)  The page is in quirks mode
2)  The year selection links are in a <table class="maintable">, which sets
    "height: 100%".  In quirks mode, this means it's rendered at the height of 
    the viewport, which pushes the calendar table down, of course.

Marking invalid, since that's what we want to be doing in quirks mode, in fact.
 Opera 7.5 on Linux has the same behavior, as does IE/Windows.

Note that using standards mode will get you the standards rendering in this case
rendering.
