26407 - www.totalrpg.com's tables do not display well

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 37656

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

Description

[Ben Gertzfield]

I'm using mozilla M13 under Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 (potato).

In Navigator/Communicator 4.X, http://www.totalrpg.com/entry.htm's tables
with graphical "corners" around the text in the tables display without a hitch.
However, I think they are a good workout for the table code in general, as
Mozilla M13 has a very, very hard time displaying the tables without mixing up
all the graphical elements.

I've taken a pair of screenshots; one with Mozilla M13, the other with Navigator
4.7.

Thanks for all your hard work so far!

[e-mail], your screenshot URL is 404ing on me, but it's fairly easy to 
reproduce this one :-)

The HTML is missing a </HEAD> - could that be part of the problem?

<mentally puts it on his list to try making testcases for when he gets round 
tuit>

Whoops! Sorry about that 404 earlier -- I had been doing some work on that
machine, upgraded its libc and forgot to restart Apache. *grin* Thanks for
reporting my bug ;)

Just to let you know, adding a </HEAD> after the </TITLE> on that page
unfortunately doesn't fix the bug. It still looks pretty awful..

(You should be able to get to the screenshots now, though you're right,
it's still easy enough to reproduce.)

This one's a duplicate of 16008, as seen on http://enlightenment.org

This is not a dupe of Bug 16008, because I see this problem on W95 M13. Bug 
16008 relates specifically to Linux. I do not see any problem with 
http://www.enlightenment.org under W95 M13. Therefore, they are not the same 
bug.

Attaching testcase ZIP. I've tried very hard, but I can't make it any smaller. 
Removing any more stuff makes it work :-(

Moving to M18.

I'm not seeing the problem with a recent build on the url. Maybe it has changed.  
Marking WORKSFORME.

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

The test case is still showing problems in 2000-06-07-00. The original URL still 
shows the problem, but redirects after 15 seconds to a site which doesn't, so 
you have to be a bit quick to catch it...

In the attachment after putting a border around the table it looks like bug 
37656. The only way to get Nav4.7 to render it badly is to remove the whitespace 
between the images in the 4th cell and use a small enough window size.
