Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: German, defect, P4)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14 i686; en-US; 0.8.1) Gecko/20010314
BuildID:    2001031409

the mentioned web page has a menu, where the menu items overlap, so the page is
unusable.
The page uses absolute positioning

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to  http://www.manolya.de/neu/index1.php3
2. try to read the menu items


Actual Results:  the menu items do overlap, making reading them impossible

Expected Results:  menu should be readable

The page uses absolute positioning.
I am not sure, if the HTML code is correct. While it works with NS4 and IE, it
does not work with Mozilla, Opera and Konqueror. So outside the Mozilla world we
have a 50:50 situation ;-)

Over to evangelism (though this could also just be closed as INVALID).  The page
uses code like the following:

<div align='right' style='POSITION: absolute; TOP: 3 px; VISIBILITY: visible;
WIDTH: 150px; Z-INDEX: 2'>

The space after "TOP" between "3" and "px" is invalid, so the "TOP:" rule is
thrown out (since "3 px" is not a valid length).

IE and NS 4.x such for breaking CSS forward-compatibility this way.
