Error on Channel 5 website
I'm using Mozilla 4.9.2 under windows NT 4.0 SP6.
The table of Transmitter Details about halfway down the page
http://www.channel5.co.uk/channel5/technical.php is not laid out correctly. The
width of columns is different on different rows as is the total width of the rows.
The page is shown correctly by MSIE 5.01 SP2 and by Navigator 4.72
p.s. I couldn't view the source of the page using either Mozilla (Bug 90203) or
the online web sniffer (Bug 90199). I downloaded the page to file technical.html
(using mozilla). This file is still has the table layout problem but its source
can be displayed using View Page Source.

hirata masakazu added a comment to bug 90203
"Interestingly, the table aligns if you open this URL from Composer/Editor."
I've tried opening the 07/13/01 03:02 testcase in Composer/Editor. This
is also displayed with the table aligned by Composer/Editor.

The eleventh line of the 07/13/01 04:10 test case is
<div align="center"> <col width="75"> </div>
This line occurs between the <table> tag and the first <tr> tag.
If this line is changed to just
<col width="75">
then the table is shown with all rows the same width.
With this change the W3C validator (http://validator.w3.org/file-upload.html)
reports the test case validates as HTML 4.01 Transitional. Without the change
the validator complains "element "DIV" not allowed here".
It appears that, unlike netscape 4.76 and MSIE 5.01 SP2, mozilla is not
ignoring the misplaced <div> tag.
The test case does not have a <!DOCTYPE> tag. I tried adding
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
to tell Mozilla the document type but this made no difference.
I have no idea which HTML editor was used to produce the page or how common
this type of invalid HTML is.
Summary: width of table columns (and total width) not consistent between rows. → width of table columns (and total width) not consistent between rows due to misplaced <div> tag

Added 4xp keyword. I also considered adding the donttest key word, however even
the 1767 byte testcase does not meet Mozilla's definition of a simplified testcase.
Keywords: 4xp
Summary: width of table columns (and total width) not consistent between rows due to misplaced <div> tag → width of table columns (and total width) not consistent between rows.

just had a look at the test case:
If you remove the unnecessary DIV tags between the COL tags at the top of the
table definition then everything is fine.
Looks like this is just a case mozilla trying to interprete colliding Attributes
of WRONG HTML code
In my oppinion just **** HTML but no bug in mozilla
