Okay, this ones a mess. The navbar on the left hand side becomes indented to the
point where you can no longer read the entire link. The word "clearpixel" seems
to be used in place of a clear pixel. None of the images that appear in NS 4.7
or IE are displaying properly either.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Hit reload!

Actual Results:  The same problem occurs everytime, or it comes up with an "The
operation timed out" When that occurs the source of the navbar in the left hand
frame is displayed.

Expected Results:  Displayed the page properly.

The "clearpixel" part of this bug is bug 41924.

Comment 2

[Jesse Ruderman]

this whole bug seems to be about the clearpixel problem, except for:

"or it comes up with an 'The operation timed out' When that occurs the source 
of the navbar in the left hand frame is displayed."

i haven't managed to repro this part yet.


there are a few other problems on the page as well, which i will try to look at.

Attachment: test case for extra white spaces in table

Comment 5

[Jesse Ruderman]

the second testcase (extra spaces in table) is probably bug 8113, but i'm not 
sure.  

this bug will be about first testcase (images not showing up).  i think it's 
the site's fault, since i can't find anything wrong with the testcase.

Dividing up claytons bugs to triage.

Comment 8

[Kevin McCluskey (gone)]

Appears to be a problem with images not resolving their href url correctly 
when a <base href> element is used.

This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer working
on this is over-burdened. If you feel this is an error, that you or another
known resource will be working on this bug,or if it blocks your work in some way
-- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration.

This is a duplicate of bug 43260.

Train of thought (nothing really interesting here):
http://www.hmv.com/hmv/thumbnail_images/HMV/857995.JPG by itself doesn't work, 
so this isn't layout (why didn't I think of that when I was simplifying this 
bug the first time?)  Image loads fine from my hard drive, so this is probably 
a networking problem (http://www.mozilla.org/quality/browser/imaging-bug-
writing.html).  Search for networking problems with "image" in the summary and 
find bug 43260.  Compare http://webtools.mozilla.org/web-sniffer/ on the jpg 
url above and on http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ant.jpg .
