269539 - Page is rendered incorrectly. Also not enough "white" space on the left hand side of window.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 146311

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[John Bell]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Opera 7.54  [en]
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0

The page is rendering incorrectly.  in IE 6 and Opera 7 both, the page renders 
correctly.  The specific problem is that the third column on right on the page, 
containing a table butts right up against the text of the second column (as if 
there were no padding between the cells.  However, this is not the case in IE 6 
or Opera 7. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. type in http://www.zaboo.com
2. observer the problem with the third column butting up against the 2nd column
3. look at how it should appear in IE 6 or Opera 7

Actual Results:  
See above

Expected Results:  
There should be a consistent space between column on the page.

There is one other problem.  Firefox doesn't leave adequate space on the left 
hand side of the page.  IE 6 and Opera 7, when in maximized mode, still leave a 
5 or so pixel space so that the text on the page doesn't jam up against the left 
hand side of the screen.  Firefox doesn't leave enough space.  It works fine in 
non-maxmized window mode but not in maximized window mode

Looking at the page, there _isn't_ any padding on the table cells.

This bug could use a minimal testcase demonstrating the rendering difference
from IE.

Attachment: testcase

The table has width="500". The td inside it has width="200". Mozilla simply
ignores the td width and renders the table and the text inside it at width 500.

IE renders the table at width 500 (this can be seen by looking at the border),
BUT the text inside the TD is rendered at width 200, effectively leaving 300
pixels of padding between the text and the TD's right border.

(The effect in the original page is more subtle, but is essentially the same -
this is what creates in IE the small "padding" between columns).

I don't believe there's any way to do IE's rendering while pretending to follow
the CSS spec....
