problem: the spacing between the "Big Charts" table and the 2nd table "Support our sponser" too close compared to 4.5. Text for entering a symbol on "Big Charts" is too close to text box compared to 4.5

Update: found while doing the "top sites" checking. Using the latest seamonkey builds available today 2/5.

The two tables are separated by a FORM width an INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN. Nav4 allocates space for this invisible item, while Raptor does not. (test Feb 03 win95 non-debug). ====================test case==================== <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY> <TABLE BORDER="1" WIDTH="600"> <TR><TD> hello </TD></TR> </TABLE> <FORM NAME="fIChart" METHOD="get" ACTION="whatever"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="symb" VALUE=""> </FORM> <TABLE BORDER="1" WIDTH="600"> <TR><TD> goodbye </TD></TR> </TABLE> </BODY> </HTML> ====================test case====================
... and, yes, that form above is useless, but it is in the original HTML from bigchart.com

Putting on [4.xP] radar.

The page lays out properly with a current build; however, the attributes in the body tag are lost thus showing no background image
QA Contact: 4110 → 4144
Checked in a code yesterday to handle multiple bodies. This should resolve the problem that Kipp has mentioned ( body attributes being ignored ).
Assignee: harishd → nisheeth
The vert whitespace problem is still here. This bug belongs to kipp, so I'll ask nisheeth to take a look.

Target Milestone: M6 → M7
Accepting bug and setting milestone to M7...
The real problem here is that we do allocate vertical space for <P> tags between two <TABLE> tags. A simple test case is: <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY> <TABLE BORDER="1" WIDTH="600"> <TR><TD> hello </TD></TR> </TABLE> <P> <TABLE BORDER="1" WIDTH="600"> <TR><TD> goodbye </TD></TR> </TABLE> </BODY> </HTML> In Navigator, the two tables have vertical space between them, whereas, in Gecko they don't.
The previous comment should read "... we do not allocate vertical space for <P> tags ...".
Target Milestone: M7 → M8
This is all the analysis I have time for in this milestone. I'm moving this out to M8.

Ignoring empty <P> elements, which is indeed the reason for the problems, is the *right thing to do* according to HTML4. Marking bug INVALID.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
Agreed. Marking as Verified Invalid.
