a screenshot of the testcase from two consecutive daily builds
While perusing Bug #1220 I came across the following example of a minimal HTML test case.
Seamonkey, Nova, and IE4 lay out the following HTML three different ways. Each product is consistent across the platforms but not
with each other. I haven't been able to prove to myself which way is right. I suggest we check it out and ascertain which is the spec
result. Playing with the <td> attributes yields interesting/helpful results.
Builds:
MacMonkey 01/27/99 ->1/28 crashed trying to read the file from disk.
LinuxMonkey 01/28/99
WinMonkey -not tested-
================== test case =================

Okay I checked on a WinNT box and everything is still true. The effect is much less pronounced on Windows. Nova and IE4 barely
show the differences but they are still there. The best way too see the effects is on a Mac (no IE for Linux).
More build info:
WinMonkey 01/28/99
4.51b2 for Windows 01/25/99
" Mac 01/19/99
4.5 RTM for Linux
IE 4.01 for Mac
IE 4 for WinNT

Well, since Claudius hasn't decided if this a bug or not, and it looks better in
Gecko than Nav4.5, I'm passing it along to the parser folks, since the script is
not showing up in the content model when I dump content.

This IS a bug and Gecko gets it wrong, wrong, wrong. Nova gets it wrong too. IE seems to have a firm grip on it. There is now a
min test case so take a look in the 3 browsers and look at the three different ways. Much inspection has led to the conclusion that
IE is about 95% correct on this.
Reassigning the bug to karanze@netscape.com.

testcase 2.0! now featuring some visual debugging tools like a horiz. and vert. rules and table cell background colors. I also
stripped out the extraneous javascipt that was left over from a previous bug.

Gecko looks the best now, but that doesn't prove anything. You will not find any
spec saying how this page should look.

I'm going to hold off verifying this until I can prove to myself that
Seamonkey either gets it right or at least does a better job than any
other browser. i think the testcase needs some tweaking.

I created an attachment which depicts major differences between two daily
builds(08/09/99 and 08/10/99)of apprunner. It seemed to get better with the
second. I'm still working...

So it turns out no two browsers on Earth render this page the same way but I've
satisfied myself that our way is mostly okay. btw Opera 3.61 happens to render
this quite similarly. VERIFIED fixed with 20000112 builds.
