The page looks the same in Safari and Mac IE so it must be a site problem.
Please reopen this bug if you find something that is not what it should be from
the HTML.

Use OmniWeb 5 and you will see it correctly. Also, use Opera 8 and you will see it correctly displayed by 
the browser.
Of course Safari and Mac IE can't see (display) it correctly. I do not agree with you that it is an XHTML 
issue. It must be a CSS+ issue.

If you take out the CSS it is the same so it because of the many nested tables
in the HTML. The page is not XHTML. If this is a bug it is not just Camino since
Camino doesn't do table layout so moving to Core.

That page doesn't even come close to validating and probably belongs to Tech
Evangelism or back to INVALID.  Doesn't belong to Pinkerton, anyway.

Martijn, could you reduce this?

Attachment: testcase

While beginning to minimise, I got this.
I think this is the same as bug 105520.

Indeed.  Thanks, Martijn!
