Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 278918

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Kevin Davidson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050121 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050121 Firefox/1.0+

This page is a phpBB 2.0.11 web site. I've accessed it for ages without problems
but since I installed the nightly build, this site renders with all the text
centered. Users running FireFox 1.0 (released verson) say it looks OK for them.
I can access other phpBB 2.0.11 using the nightly build without a problem.
Somebody said that they have the same centering problem using Opera on this
site. Internet Explorer left justifies as expected.

I don't know if it's a bug or not, but it is at least a difference between FF
1.0 and 1.0+.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit URL above.


Actual Results:  
All the text on the page is centered.

Expected Results:  
All the text should be left justified.

Using default theme.

Confirming, this worked with the 20th build and its broken in the 21th build on
Windows XP.

Taking out the DOCTYPE makes the text left aligned again. The table is in a td
with align="center". Dont get it why it worked with the 20th build.

See bug 273857.

The current rendering is the same one as IE will do if you just take out the XML
declaration (it's treating the document in its quirks mode at the moment), and
the same one as Opera does....
