....and look at the tables in the middle labeled "morning" and
"evening". Do this in both IE and Firefox.
The tables appear to me to be defined identically (to take up 100% of
the width of the parent table), and indeed IE makes them the same
width, as I wanted and expected. But in Firefox (latest), the "evening"
table is appreciably narrower. Seemingly regardless of the text
contents of each cell.
Am I missing something subtle here or is this a Firefox/Gecko bug?
Thoughts on what's causing this, and on any non-kludgey workarounds,
much appreciated.

First of all, there are 67 HTML errors, some of which involve
tables.
Then, you seem to be using a table to force margins, which should
instead be done with style-sheets. A style-sheet would simplify
your HTML by eliminating nested tables.
Finally, your MORNINGS and EVENINGS tables have no width
specified. As long as the specified ratios of column widths
(indicated as percentages in the <TD> tags) are maintained, these
two tables will have the minimum necessary width to hold their
text. Try adding width="100%" to the two <table> tags.
Even better, fix all the HTML errors and eliminate nested tables.

I'll try that; thanks. Still interesting to me that IE and Firefox
render it differently, though.
BTW: The whole site is something I inherited (it's NOT my html) and
it's in dire need of a rethink/rewrite from the ground up. At that
point of course stylesheets would be the way to go, but I'm not about
to throw time and energy into the current version...

With HTML errors, you can have all kinds of rendering. Especially
Firefox and other Gecko browers) are prone to that.
If I get a really funny display, I put the page through the validator,
and with a chance of 99%, there will be an error in that page, sometimes
not at the same place, where the funny display occurs.
I don't blame the programmers - as they say: Garbage in, garbage out.

They're different programs written by different teams with different
ways of interpreting the specification, and differing levels of respect
for the specification. It would be remarkable if they rendered
everything in exactly the same way.

Oh, and that's even when the code is correct. When it isn't, it would be
a miracle for different browsers to have the same rendering. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hello Guys,
I am posting my weird experience on firefox by a piece of code I have
written. That piece of code is supposed to be executed when the page is not
posted back i.e., for the very first time.
In IE, my code is doing what it is supposed to do i.e.., it is not executing
that piece of code whenever page is posted back but in firefox browser it is
executing even if it is a postback.

Ran into the problem today - in INPUT field Firefox executes

Hi all,
I've read through this group searching for an answear about this
problem.
Few have come close but not quite what I need.
My problem is this: I'm using Ajax to fetch a new table with input
boxes. I then take
the innerHTML from my <div> and add the new table to the existing
one/s.
What happens in FireFox is that all values in other tables input boxes

Hello,
I'm trying to get a popup to keep focus when it is re-clicked.
The script below is supposed to produce this exact behaviour,
however it doesn't work, at least on firefox 1.0.7 and moz 1.7.12
(linux kubuntu). It does work with konqueror.
It seems to work with firefox on windows but not with IE (not completly
sure though).

Sorry for crossposting to several lists, but from what I can tell, what
I want to do may involve several different areas of expertise. (None of
which I have :-( )
I'd like to use Gecko as the UI for an application mostly implemented in
Python. Ideally, I'd like to somehow come up with a Python module that
wraps the Gecko, so that I can:
1) Create windows whose content is drawn by Gecko.
1) Dynamically manipulate what is shown by Gecko.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
