From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; m17) Gecko/20000807 BuildID: 20000080712 A DIV with overflow:auto inside a TD renders OK if not vertical scroll bar is needed. When the content is long enough that a vertical scrollbar is needed the width of the containing TD grows uncontrollably. We are trying hard to make Netscape 6 a fully supported browser for our design tools. This bug is really a blocker. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try http://www.bellew.net/bug/table.html 2. Note that if you make the DIV content shorter the problem does not repro Actual Results: bad layout Expected Results: same layout regardless of length of DIV content <html> <head> <title>Scrolling DIV bug</title> </head> <body> <table width=100% height=100%> <tr> <td valign=top style="border:2px red solid;" height=100% width="150"> BUG: the width of the left TD expands if the content of the DIV below needs a vertical scroll bar.<br> <img style="border:2px purple solid;" src="x.gif" width=150 height=10> <div style="overflow:auto; width:132; height:500; border:2px orange solid;"> <dl> <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>AddressBook <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>authors <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>discounts <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>employee <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>From_1K_to_6K_in_order <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>images <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>jobs <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>Log <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>Mixed_Ks <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>pub_info <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>publishers <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>roysched <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>sales <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>stores <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>titleauthor <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>titles <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>types <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>1_corphome.gif <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>2_mywebs_userhome.gif <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>3_manageweb_webhome.gif <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>4_file_view.gif <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>5_data_table.gif <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>6_tips_tab.gif <!-- cut here to make list shorter, if no vertical scrolling is required, bug goes away --> <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>7_view_editor.gif <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>asdf.view <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>blank.view <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>debug.view <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>default.css <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>default.html <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>default.view <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>gfdfg.html <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>giving.gif <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>html.view <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>master.view <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>raid.mdb* <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>search.view <dt nowrap><img src="x.gif" width=8 height=1>test.ws <!-- end cut here --> </dl> </div> </td> <td style="border:2px blue solid;" height=100% width="100%"><img style="border:2px purple solid;" src="x.gif" width=300 height=10></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
