274048 - Strange bug with rendering lots of <div> tags

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[admin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

If you go to the included URL (I will leave the server running over the weekend,
otherwise it will only be accessible from around 9am to 11pm GMT) then you will
see the XHTML in question.

Simply click the link to the 'News' forum and do nothing else. Look at the
bottom of the page, you will notice that the box surrounding the list of topics
is messed up, the bottom 'line' is too high up and the forum 'jumpbox' is
rendered in there, when it shouldn't be there at all.

If you hit refresh however then the problem is fixed except that the Jumpboxes
are set to '---------' opposed to their default value. If you then reload the
page (by clicking the URL in the address bar and hitting return, not clicking
refresh) then the page is now how it was supposed to be.

Safari 1.3 works just fine with this, and I have tried all different
combinations of XHTML and CSS to try and solve the issue, but it looked fine to
begin with and I cannot see this being an error on my behalf.

If you require any samples of the actual code then please e-mail me and I will
be happy to send them.

As a note, this problem occurs in both the Macintosh and Windows versions of
FireFox. It doesn't occur in Safari or *shudders* Internet Explorer (which has a
whole heap of different problems instead just to be nice, but I know how to fix
those).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://82.41.165.92/~haravikk/phpBB2/
2. Click "News"
3. Observer problem towards foot of page
4. Refresh page, problem is mostly fixed (but for strange jumpboxes)
5. Click the address bar and hit return.
6. Page is now how it should be.

Actual Results:  
After step 2, the <div>'s at the bottom of the page are messed up.

Expected Results:  
Not messed them up =)
