Thanks. So it's basically one symptom of the same general problem with CSS, right? Is there anything in the works regarding correct rendering of those pages? It appears pages that use this model are becoming increasingly widespread. Until recently the main page of Yahoo! sites rendered very nicely but about a week ago it a appears that they radically changed the layout - instead of having everything on the page, they shoved much of the stuff into tabs etc.. so in a gui browser you have to click here and there to find what you are looking for.. The interesting fact is that the US version still plays well with elinks while the European versions I have checked do not.. Although at first glance they appear very similar when displayed by mozilla. Here for example: http://www.yahoo.com http://uk.yahoo.com Is this the same general problem? If you know the site well and the structure of its home page it's not too hard to find what you are looking for but for sites you are not familiar with it's a bit harder. > Tables are treated in a special way so that is why > you see the background color applying correctly to the table cells on > that page. point taken..

Sorry I missed that part. I take it that when someone comes up with a 'fix' the end result would be, that the two pages above would look identical? Or would this only affect the minor background color on the gentoo page? If the latter, many thanks in advance to whoever takes on this challenge.. would make a world of difference, IMHO.. Especially since there appear to be more & more such pages.
