74194 - Some CSS-based sites render poorly.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 24409

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect, P2)

Description

[dan.m]

Go to this URL and you'll see what I'm talking about. There are other pages on
ESPN's site that look quirky at times too...but the team pages usually take the
cake.

OS 9.1, AGP G4

Yes, I can reproduce on Mac OS 8.6 with build 033004. The site looks quite bad,
but it's still readable.

This is not a major bug, setting severity to normal.

Also, the CSS on the page does validate as valid:
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/clubhouse?team=pit
but the HTML does not:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/clubhouse?team=pit

maybe bug 56818 or bug 71019 ?

I can see two distinct issues with this page.

One, the content isn't properly positioned.  Page tries to set two preferred 
stylesheets;  mozilla only uses the first, but the second defines the 
positioning.  This is a dup of bug 70833.

Two, the text style is wrong.  This is because of a case mismatch with selectors 
and is a dup of bug 56818.

Bug 71019 looks distinct from the issues here.

A better dup may be bug 52566 rather than bug 70833.  Same issue, but the former 
has accumulated dups for similar espn pages and has more discussion.  My 
apologies.

Now using Mac Mozilla .9

ESPN's site still has a few minor hangups visually, but it looks much better
under this build than previous ones. The page content no longer loads down the
page like it did before. The only thing I can see at this point is that the
"navigation bar" on the left side of each page still juts into the content a
little bit. Looks much better!

...then again, while most of ESPN's "cover" pages seem to render better than
before, the URL noted above is still loading "down the page", with each element
off by itself...haven't seen this phenomenon anywhere else that I've browsed
however.

I see this too, win98 2001080114.  Platform/OS -> All?

The individial page components just load in a vertical line down the page. 
Looks OK in IE 5.5 SP1.

yep, dupe bug 24409.

if we can ever get them to talk to us, we can cover the issues on all the dupes
at the same time.
