77692 - Strange layout of tables (background, spacing)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 22274

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[ernst]

I have a web page that I hand-coded and tested with IE 5.5/Win98, Netscape
4.7x/Win98, Netscape 4.7x/Linux (on FreeBSD) and Mozilla 0.8 and 0.8.1, both on
FreeBSD. Both Mozilla/FreeBSD versions create a mess of this page. Spacing of
the cells is weird, and the background pictures don't seem tobe painted correctly.

My guess is that at *least* the spacing is a problem that has nothing to do with
Mozilla's standards-compliance. Correct me if I'm wrong, ofcourse.

The spacing almost certainly has to do with standards compliance.  I don't have a 
Mozilla to test with at the moment, but I am almost certain that you are seeing 
the effects of bug 22274.  To test, try removing the DOCTYPE element (or just 
removing the DTD URI from the doctype).  If this makes the problems goo away, 
then you are seeing bug 22274 and you should read that one to see what you are 
doing wrong.
