The site located at http://members.xoom.com/rootrider/index.html contains a table with a single row and seven table cells. It is a navigation bar that is common to this site. In order to indicate which part of the site the user is on, I put <strong> around the name of the page they are currently on (indicated in this navigation bar/table). Along with the table not rendering correctly (bug #2817) the word "Home" as seen on the referenced URL is not rendered "strongly". It shows as if the text is "normal". As you can see the phrase, "Sites that I have on the Internet:" is contained in <strong> and *is* rendered correctly. Therefore, I am assuming that "Home" is not shown correctly because it is in a table. -Joel D. Parker

Also, I'm viewing the site in the Developer Preview (Gecko) downloaded from http://developer.netscape.com on 1/30/99. -Joel D. Parker

This is not related to tables. The <strong> tag "works" for higher values of 'font-size'. The style for the "Home" in the table is {font-size: 70%; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Sans-serif;}. 'Arial at 70%' (depending on platform and default settings) can be down into the range of 'single-pixel', at which point 'bolding' is irrelevant/impossible. Perhaps a CSS/Font guru can confirm this.

Well, Navigator 4.05 & IE4 shows this particular example as "bolded" (except that Navigator 4.05 seems to display <strong> the same way as Gecko when the page is refreshed or revisited). It seems then, that the rendering engine *should* show this text with a heavier weight. -Joel D. Parker

Setting all current Open Critical and Major to M3

per leger, assigning QA contacts to all open bugs without QA contacts according to list at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Browser

This page looks ok on my 3/12, WinNT debug build.

Using 3/19 build on all platforms, 'home' renders 'strongly'. Verifying bug WORKSFORME.
