93409 - Form elements jump up page[form sub]

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Norvin Eitzen]

When submitting the form, the selection lists "jump" up the page vertically
overlapping mozilla location bar.  The resulting page is fine, its just upon
form submission

This looks like a dupe of bug 80236

That page is a _MESS_ of nested tables but, assuming I didn't mangle the html
file too much, I believe the problem lies in the fact that the <FORM>, <INPUT>
and <SELECT> are separated by <TR><TD>s. In the file I'm about the attach, the
erroneous behavior can be fixed by doing one of the following:

1.) Removing one of the <TR><TD> pairs
2.) Moving the <FORM> down to the same nesting level the <INPUT> is at.
3.) Moving the <INPUT> either up or down to the same level as the <FORM> or the
<SELECT>, respectively.
4.) Add an extra <tr><td>...</td></tr> around the <INPUT>

I'm no html standards expert, but this may be a WONTFIX depending on whether or
not this is valid html.

Attachment: testcase (hopefully not too mangled)

also happens on windows 98 build 2001-08-02-03-trunk. Confirming.

It looks like the page gets scrolled up.. except when I place some text after
the form the text gets scrolled up more then the form and ends up overlapped by
the select....
