9394 - Table within a Table Error [+ Mozilla Crash w/Forms]

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 4576

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect, P3)

Description

[bowden]

I'm entering this request from Netscape 4.6 due to the fact that when I tried
submitting it using Mozilla, it locked up, took all system resources down to the
point of me actually getting an error message about low system resources from
Windows, and eventually forced me to do a hard reboot. Anyways, I digress.

If you check out the URL given, you'll notice that on the left side of the page
there is a menu bar of sorts. Each part of the menu has a small border around
it. This border is created via a table within a table, with the larger table
having a grey background, and the smaller (internal) table having a black
background.

However, instead of appearing as it should (and as it does in Netscape, IE, and
NetPositive), under Mozilla the right part of the border is missing. I've looked
at the HTML and I'm fairly sure that it is not the fault of the code.

If this IS the fault of the code, please excuse the unnecessary bug report.
Either way, I'd like to know what the deal is, as I'm doing my best to make my
site browser-independent. (although a Lynx version is not high on my agenda).

Thanks!

Your web page is fine. The problem is that Mozilla has trouble with certain
pages with nested tables (such as http://www.reston.com/nasa/watch.html , as
described in bug 4576.) And thank you for the bug report, they are useful even
if they turn out to be duplicates.
