So...it's all well and good that you've filed this bug and assigned it to yourself, but it'd be nice to know:

a) what site has the "problems with layout"
b) what the "problems with layout" are

Amazing this section is active!  And really sad my posting bug I apologize. 

URL : 

http://www.embaixada-americana.org.br/

Observe: 

HTML area on top, menus. 

I believe I have contacted them via forms about 1 year ago about this problem and so far nothing. I will write again today from my mozilla.com address. In case you get their attention, or have a formal approach to contact them please let me know.

BTW general background on this bug, this is the US Embassy Web site for Brazil. I believe they are using a template but was not able to find the same problems in the US Embassy Web site or others.

Attachment: screenshot of site header

Here's a screenshot of the header. I don't have a Windows machine around here so I can't give a screenshot of what it's "supposed" to look like, but I'm certain this isn't the "right" look.

K. recontacted them via the contact@ channel in the Web site. I added a brief explanation on the problem, and requested them to send the message to the Webmaster. Also offered to send additional technical details on the problem if they need it. Thanks for the support Chris.

Attachment: How I suspect it's supposed to look

Here's what I suspect it's "supposed" to look like.

What they need to do is remove this portion of the HTML:

<td bgcolor=#192138 width=100% valign=top align=right>&nbsp;</td>

in the following block of code:

<table width=100% border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
  <tr><td rowspan=2 bgcolor=#192138> <img src="photos/flag.jpg" alt="" width=196 align=left></td><td bgcolor=#192138><table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=100%>
 <tr height=27><td bgcolor=#192138 width=100% valign=top align=right>&nbsp;</td><td bgcolor=#192138 valign=top align=right> <img src="photos/bg_redblue.jpg"></td>
<TD BGCOLOR=#990000 width="270" align=right>

That empty table cell is what's screwing everything up. When I remove that on a local copy of the page, I get the attachment here. I have no idea why this would ever look OK in any browser, in fact.

By the way, there are literally hundreds of small errors in their code -- no quotes on attributes is by far the most common, but there are lots of others -- that they really ought to clean up. None of the other errors are going to break anything, however, at least as far as I can tell.

INCOMPLETE due to lack of activity since the end of 2009.

If someone is willing to investigate the issues raised in this bug to determine whether they still exist, *and* work with the site in question to fix any existing issues, please feel free to re-open and assign to yourself.

Sorry for the bugspam; filter on "NO MORE PRE-2010 TE BUGS" to remove.
