examine this page with SM 1.1.17:
http://villageelectronicsservice.com/VacationSchedule.aspx
Now use: SM 2, FF3.0/3.5, Omniweb, Opera or iCab.
In all of those All-in-ones and Web Browsers The page for me views as
it should.
It display as intended SeaMonkey 1.1.*, IMO. There's a weird table
definition used to lay out the problem content:
<table class="MS_WH_ZoneRow">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="WIDTH: 1%"/>
<td style="WIDTH: 10%">...</td>
<td style="WIDTH: 89%"/>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Note the abbreviated empty-element XML syntax used is not compatible
with the "text/html" type served, but what's really causing trouble is
the second <td style="WIDTH: 10%">...</td> element which holds the main
content. Why the author has chosen to specify 10% of the available
space for the main content and 89% for its right margin is not clear to
me. What we probably see with the more modern browsers is effect of the
newer _non-normative_ automatic table layout [1] algorithm recommended
just lately.
Yes. SM 1.1.16 honors the idiotic setting and hides most of the content,
as the author seems to intend.
