28743 - Table layout is incorrect

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect, P3)

Description

[travis]

The URL http://intech.office.aol.com/aolt/newsletter/current/ does not layout 
correctly.  There are a number of gaps in the tables when rendering with 
Mozilla that IE and Nav 4.x don't have.

Marking NS Confidential as it includes an internal link.

Submitting as a beta1 canidate since it causes layout to not be right for this 
page and likely others like it.

M17?  Isn't that after the beta2 date?  Doesn't basic layout need to be correct 
for beta 2?  Especially on sites where internal people who might be trying to 
use this will likely be demoing to their management?

Clearing "beta1" from Status. Travis--this never showed up on PDT radar because 
it was the wrong keyword in the wrong field. ;-> FYI, mark nsbeta2/nsbeta3/rtm 
in keywords field to nominate bugs going forward.

Marking compat. Nom. nsbeta3, recc. nsbeta3+. Tables widely used for positioning 
& layout on web; want to be b.c.

Marc, are you the right person to look at this while karnaze's gone?

Yes, I'm the correct person, thanks for notifying me.

This is yet another instance of the transitional / loose doctype causing us to 
render in strict mode, causing images in tables to get gaps between them. If you 
force rendering in QuirksMode (in viewer using the debug menu) it looks 99% 
correct - there is still a small difference in the table but it is dramatically 
better than in standard mode.

Since we already decided that we are now doing the correct thing with this 
doctype, there isn't much to do with this one except figure out why the 
remaining single white gap appears in the orange table on the right - which does 
not seem critical. See bug 44463 and bug 42525 for more info on the doctype and 
rendering mode.

an internal link is not justification for marking a bug netscape confidential. 
The Netscape confidential group is now reserved for sercurity related bugs only.

The given link http://intech.office.aol.com/aolt/newsletter/current is not 
working.. It gives the error
"The requested object does not exist on this server. The link you followed is 
either outdated, inaccurate, or the server has been instructed not to let you 
have it."

Travis Can you please give another URL which describes the problem..
