In the page at www.camelot.nl, the way things are layed out is wrong. IE 6 has
no problem with it. It's probably build for IE 6, I know, but still...

O, the complete site seems to experience the same problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to URL http://www.camelot.nl
2. Look at the layout, it's wrong
3.

Actual Results:  
The page looks wrong

Expected Results:  
The page should look right :-)

This is not a firefox bug, the site is horribly coded.

This bug should be resolved as WONTFIX based on
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.camelot.nl%2F

We don't WONTFIX layout bugs based on a validation check.  (If that was the
policy, just about every layout bug filed these days would be wontfixed.)  The
code gets examined and/or minimized to a testcase, to see if there's a valid
bug, a Tech Evang bug, or what.

They seem to be doing a browser sniff

When loaded in Opera, with IE 6.0 agent string - Correct
When loaded in Opera, with Opera agent string - Incorrect - Same as in Firefox.

Page is looking fine right now. Reporter could you confirm?

Yes, I agree. The site seems OK now (running Gecko/20041202 Firefox/1.0) with
dutch translations. So, is this a fix in firefox or is the site altered?

tech evang bugs like this one can only be marked fixed if the site has been
updated. Otherwise it was a Mozilla bug and not a Tech Evang entry :)
