First notice: I tried W3C authoring tool Amaya ver 9.55 - it renders page-bottom OK. It looks for me, that table pieces which should overlap are actually side-by-side, pulling text-box out of the border. And there is no possibility to scroll the window.
It should be mentioned, Amaya has some difficulties with start of the page, Firefox renders it OK. Microsoft's IE6 renders whole page OK. The page is taken from an auction service, page is fresh and will expire in some two months. The page has not simple structure and my (rather minor) knowledge is not sufficient to state broken page error.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Just open the page and look at the bottom of the page
2.
3.

From the page:

<td style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN-LEFT: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 0px; POSITION: relative; TOP: 3px; TEXT-ALIGN: left" ...>

Specifying float:left makes the TD element display:block, not table-cell,
per rule 3 at http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#dis-pos-flo
The layout in Firefox is correct according to CSS 2.1.

Removing the float property from the style attribute should result
in the desired layout in all browsers as far as I know.
Removing the position property seems like a good idea too.

This auction item is gone from the allegro.pl site.

WONTFIX, as the page is gone.
