281304 - Fails to render a multi-table page properly

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[D. Grimaldo]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Rendering works ok in IE, however when rendering it by FireFox the middle part
of the page (content) somehow displays PART of the background picture of a cell
that was part of ANOTHER table in the left pane table cell.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. I have put a test page in the provided URL
2. Point your browser to http://www.coralys.com/Test/default.html using IE 6
3. Do the same with FireFox 1.0

Actual Results:  
OK on IE, On FireFox it displays an image from a DIFFERENT table cell somewhere
else on the page as well as the place where it was supposed to be

Expected Results:  
Not display the background image for that cell, after all there is no background
image specification on that cell (See HTML code, the part marked in HTML
comments as "Middle Pane")

Well, no, at the same size and resolution it renders exactly the same in IE and
Firefox: you have 30% of the width allocated to that cell with the background
image, which at my resolution with a maximized window means that there's room
enough for one and a quarter copies of the image, so that's what shows in both
IE and Firefox, because background on a table cell is tiled. If you want that
cell to be no more than the width of the image, then make it that width, not a
percentage, and if you are having trouble with basic table layout turn on
borders so you can see what's part of what cell.
