95691 - bad wrapping in lxr's starting points

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: MXR, defect)

Description

[Alexandru Savulov]

Since there was a change in the way mozilla is handling the blocks contained in
blocks with NOWRAP attribute specified, the layout of the forms ont the LXR
pages will change (look like IE would display them). This will cause a lot of
complains resulting in a lot of bug duplicates.

The markup has to be changed to keep the old look. Below is an example for the
first of the three forms that appear on the LXR search pages:



<td VALIGN=TOP NOWRAP>
<form METHOD=GET ACTION="search">
<table BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=2 CELLSPACING=0>
<tr>
<td ALIGN=RIGHT VALIGN=CENTER>
<a HREF="search"><b>Text <br>Search:</a></b>
</td>
<td>
<input TYPE=TEXT NAME="string" VALUE="" SIZE=8>
<input TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Find">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>

<!-- THE NEXT CELL NEEDS "NOWRAP" TO PROVIDE THE OLD LOOK -->

<td NOWRAP><font SIZE="-1">

<!-- IF YOU DON'T ADD NOWRAP, THE TEXT THAT FOLLOWS WILL WRAP -->

Use this field to search<br>through all the text.</font>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</td>


This is only a proposed patch, but you may chose to change the markup entirely,
but adding the nowrap will make all browsers to display the same (I hope :-)

As reference, take a look at browser bug 95512, there is a reduced test case too.

Reassigning all LXR bugs assigned to [e-mail] to the default LXR owner (sorry Bear!)

We aren't actively working on these (if that's wrong, please reassign to yourself/a real person).

i suspect mxr-test's has been worked.

reed: can you figure out if we can just pull in mxr-test's page to solve this?
