With Safari and Firefox it's the same. Opera doesn't have this problem. Checked same page on a yech-Windows machine too and no problem. I haven't been able to correct this changing fonts and/or sizes. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. www.pharosreizen.nl 2. selecting the wanted trip 3. selecting availability 4. calenders appear and the boxes right through them Actual Results: non readable screen/ page layout not right or correct/fonts too small Expected Results: neatly organised screen behave like Opera page layout
It looks the same in Safari; the page is just badly designed. You should complain to the site's webmaster.

Okay, I think that it is a bad designed page too, but is there a way to work around this with Camino? Some more of the sites have this same kind of fuzzy and bad layouts. Safari has the same difficulty displaying it, but how come Opera and IE don't "see" this haywire spaghetti, and why does it become a real mess in Camino (Safari and Firefox)? If you find the time? Thank you.

(In reply to comment #3) > Okay, I think that it is a bad designed page too, but is there a way to work > around this with Camino? No; Camino is rendering the page as it is written. > how come Opera and IE don't "see" this haywire spaghetti, > and why does it become a real mess in Camino (Safari and Firefox)? Because the web designer presumably wrote the page to IE's broken rendering, and never tested anywhere else. Opera, as I understand it, focuses more on being compatible with IE than with standards.

Thank you, Stuart. Perhaps more developpers need some extra training to do that right for all of us. Have a nice day, and my kind regards to all of you at the Camino project.
