The following html pases diffently in IE and NSC 4.5: <HTML> <BODY> <TABLE BORDER=3> <TR> <DIV CLASS=subhead><FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF" SIZE=1 FACE="ARIAL"></FONT></DIV> <td>Should be in table</td> </tr> </table> </BODY> </HTML>

Incorrect markup. Neither the <div> tag nor the <font> tag may be contained in a <tr> tag, although they may be contained in a <td> tag. Changing priority and severity.

As a user browsing the web a don't care whether this is valid html - I just want pages which have been using this to layout as they were intended. If it works in the last releases of both the major browsers and not in Nglayout, then this is clearly a backwards compatability bug. Bumping the priority back up.
My apologies. The parser should be able to ignore incorrect markup. The <font> and <div> tags should simply be ignored.
