mozilla, firefox and camino display this page
1/4 of the size that it is displayed in other
browsers ( internet explorer 5.2.3, icab 2.9.8,
safari 1.0.3, opera 7.54u1 ).  This would lead
me to believe that it is a generic gecko problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to www.vitahealth.ca
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
site displayed in the upper left corner of the window.

Expected Results:  
should have displayed in the whole window
This site is displayed for me at zero %, as I don´t have flash installed.

Started another browser, firefox with flash and DOM Inspector, and DI tells me
size of <body> is zero, the source view tells me size of the <embed> is
'width="100%" height="100"' and DI tells me 100% of zero is 'width="784"
height="200"'. Maybe specifying a size somewhere will improve it a bit.

They should allow people not having flash installed looking at their pages, as
of now, there is no way to skip the frontpage, go to pages thereafter.
If you know the links, it is no problem:
http://www.vitahealth.ca/News/meth.htm
You can read there, though 3 flash objects can´t be displayed, I don´t mind.
But there is no way to come to this page, if you don´t have flash installed,
besides looking at the source code of the main page if there is anything
preventing gecko browsers from coming in. No there wasn´t anything blocking gecko.



changing Hardware and OS from Mac to All, as it also is seen on Windows, in
1.7.5 and trunk versions of Firefox.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20050108 Firefox/1.0+

There is nothing to render besides the object, and there are no absolute
dimensions specified. 
If I replace 'height="100%" width="100%"' with 'height="475px" width="600px"' it
renders about the size seen with opera.

Opera8 renders fine, but shows reduced size if I select 
 View-> Style -> UserMode -> Accessibility Layout


from the source:

<body bgcolor="#003366">
<!--url's used in the movie-->
<a href="http://www.vitahealth.ca/About/about_vision.htm"></a>

... 4 more links, containing only the href, no visible Part, and rendered by the
object, not by mozilla.

This is the same as bug 208433, but I think that one's going to end up invalid,
so I'll turn this into a Tech Evangelism bug.

I contacted bwerbows@leiner.com and told him about the problem. I linked to this
bug report and directed him to a fix
http://www.quirksmode.org/css/100percheight.html
Bug 237113 alias "FlashHeight" is the bug that covers this, with 6 dupes so far.

Here are the URL's from the dupes that still show the problem
http://www.dcwl.net/en_start.html

And I have a new one:

The main vitahealth.ca page displays fine, and the rest of the links are non-existant. Resolving as INVALID.
