88755 - Content positioning problems

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[r.navalinskas]

There are many sites, where part of content is shown as placed far far away to
the right and you have to scroll in order to reach it, though it was correctly
shown in Netscape 4.7x and MSIE 5.5. Some examples (try with different
browsers): http://www.iona.com , http://www.iona.com/products/ip_ipas_home.htm,
http://lt.telebasket.com/eng . There are many more sites with such a problem

Minimal code to reproduce this problem :

<style type="text/css">
 div.sidebartext { padding:1pt; };
</style>

<table border="1"><tr><td>
<div class="sidebartext"><hr></div>
</td></tr></table>

It's about a <HR> (which always uses maximum width) in a table (which can extend
over 100% in width) in combination with a padding-stylesheet.

And for telebasket.com/eng it's an evangelism.. Absolutely senseless. Look for
yourself :

if(document.all)
{
 document.write('<table cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 bgColor=#000000 border=0
width="150" height="110">');
}
if(document.layers)
{
 document.write('<table cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 bgColor=#000000 border=0
width="150" height="110">');
}
<tr>..etc..

No comment (except a LOL) to the "webmaster of the day".

The case with <HR> inside a table should be solved somehow. There are many sites
using such a style.

Marking wfm.

What you have seen : Nearly endless horizontal table
