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

When rendering a spin button control (numeric input with 'up' and 'down'
buttons) the buttons are displayed below the textbox, instead of to the right
side.  IE 5.0+ render this correctly but not Mozilla.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
View attached page.

Actual Results:  
Spin button shows text box with spin buttons below.

Expected Results:  
Spin button should show text box with buttons to the right side.

Default theme, standard user installation.
This is an actual product screen that renders properly in IE 5.0+.

<body>
<input size="4"> 
<table>
	<tr>
		<td>
			<button class="spinButtonTop" onclick="addVal('qtyYear', 1, 2000, 2049);">
				<img alt="" src="IN-tact%201201%20Time_files/spinup3.gif" border="0"> 
			</button>
		</td>
	</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

This html shows the same render as yours, I am guessing that I have
unknowingly removed some essential part. Are you able to make a
testcase of similar size: one input element followed by one table
showing that the styles you wish have not been applied.

I am sure that I would be wrong to simply say that Firefox is rendering
the code and styles that you have shown us (though that is possible),
but I cannot see at what point the error has crept in.
I'm working to reproduce this in a small test case... for some reason, now 
everything I try ends up rendering the way yours does whether it's IE or 
Firefox.  I'm beginning to suspect an undocumented 'feature' in IE.

Thank you.

(I wasn't aware that bare <input> elements were allowed outside forms).

You probably want to have the <input> element and the <table> laid out
inline rather than block.

(You probably want to do your layout without tables, but that it is
another story). Please post when you find a difference between the
observed layout and the expected one.

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
