When several tables are nested withing a table cell, the columns within the
nested tables are not rendered properly. Code like the following:
<table>
<tr>
<td>Hello</td>
<td><table>
<tr>
<td>Bye</td>
</tr>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Hello and Bye appear in the same column. Using 6/23/2000 build
Your given code is missing a </table> tag, but in any case, I cannot get it to
be printed into the same column as you described with build 2000062311. I did,
however, see that the above URL is not rendered the same way as in Netscape
4.73. I'll have to read the HTML source to see what's going on.
I don't know enough about HTML to know whether this is a bug or not, but I do
know that if I take the HTML file and erase the first line:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">
Then the page renders in exactly the same way as Netscape 4.73.

There was a missing quote in
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"> - I was making a test case
and I changed it to
<!"DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"> - same problem with
Mozilla, and Netscape 4.73 still renders fine.
The page renders under Mozilla, however with <!"DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD
HTML 3.2//EN">. I have found no missing table tags, and I don't know what
changed with tables in HTML 4.01.
I don't see any problem ( 06/22/00 build ) with the snippet. But, in the above
URL, menu on the left hand side, looks whacky. I think this is something to do
with IMG inside TABLE.
CCing Chrish.

When the HTML 4.01 or 4.0 DTD is specified under Mozilla 2000062610, if a nested
table is placed between font tags in the outer table's cell, the nested table or
tables are not rendered. The attached code illustrates this..just uncomment the
font tags!

Okay, I see the mistake. The above URL and the testcases are using STRICT
DOCTYPE,i.e., " <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"> ", but failed
to follow the spec.
Per spec. FONT cannot contain TABLE ( STRICT DTD follows this ). Therefore, in
the testcase, the TABLE after FONT got thrown away [ Note: it's upto the user
agent to handle malformedness ;-) ].
Changing the DOCTYPE ( < 4.0 ) should fix the problem.
Marking this bug INVALID.
