While both IE and Netscape render the page correctly I saw that this page, which should be XHTML compliant, does not render correctly using mozilla.
Yes, it's not displaying the same as Nav and IE. The page is layed out using tables so changing component Chris, the page looks like it is claiming "strict" 4.0. I don't know if that would make a difference

The page works as intended if DOCTYPE is changed to Transitional (or if the DTD URL is removed). The page's problem seems to be the Nav4/CSS1 line-height incompatibility described in detail in bug 5821. (Explanation in plain English: the layout of the page is depending on some non-standard legacy browser features, but Mozilla is rendering the page according to the standards instead since the page is explicitly claiming conformance to strict HTML 4.0.) Mozilla is doing the correct thing here - I'm marking this Resolved/Invalid. Changing Component to Layout and Platform/OS to All as well.

Netscape's standard compliance QA team reorganised itself once again, so taking remaining non-tables style bugs. Sorry about the spam. I tried to get this done directly at the database level, but apparently that is "not easy because of the shadow db", "plus it screws up the audit trail", so no can do...
