Details

As of the build for today (12/23/98) this page layed-out strangely. http://bignosebird.com/cgi-bin/clickout.cgi?http://www.reallybig.com/graphics.sh tml%23216?reallybig It looks ok in 4.5 win95 - check via that browser for reference.
This page exhibits two bugs: 1) first bug is similar to Bugzilla #1224, where a redundant <HEAD> is contained inside a <TD>, which closes the TABLE prematurely. I have posted this page in a repaired form (deleting the extra <HEAD>s), along with a 'diff -c' to show which lines trigger the table bustage: base case -- http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~buslib/rb/reallybig.0.html fix - remove redundant HEAD tags http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~buslib/rb/reallybig.1.html diff of the two above pages http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~buslib/rb/diff-c.0-to-1.txt 2) After 'working-around' the first bug, the page still has a problem. There is some strange interplay of having <FONT></FONT> wrapped around a <DT></DT> in advance of a <DD></DD>. A further 'repaired' page (with a diff of the changes required to avoid the table breakage) is at: fix - remove a <FONT> tag http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~buslib/rb/reallybig.2.html diff of the above page and the previous "fixed" page http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~buslib/rb/diff-c.1-to-2.txt The following is a simple test case that demonstrates the bug in 2): ---------------------------------------- <html><head></head><body> <!-- the BGCOLOR attribute is just to make the table breakage clear --> <table border="1" BGCOLOR="#ffcc00"><tr><td> <dl> <FONT> <dt>Baz</dt> </FONT> <DD>foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo</DD> <!-- if either 1) the FONT tag, or 2) the /FONT tag, or 3) the DD tag is removed ... no problem ... i.e., no table breakage --> </dl> </td></tr></table> </body></html> ----------------------------------------
