Bug 4052 – Worldbank tables do not display correctly, losing information.

• Component: Layout and Rendering
• Status: RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED

[Scott Ellsworth]

The world bank uses front page to create their data tables, and something in the HTML causes the top of 
the tables to be trimmed.

Note in the above URL that the first country listed is Angola.  Algeria is trimmed, and Albania is missing 
entirely.

In addition, the right column of the page is not laid out in a way that can be seen.

A web archive of the page is available at <http://homepage.mac.com/fuz/Table%204.15%20|%20Balance%
20of%20payments%20current%20account.webarchive>, in case the world bank removes the original.

Confirmed in 10.3.9.  Frontpage produces very poor html so that'll be the problem.  doesn't work in 
Gecko either.  I'm quite impress that Opera gets it right though.

[Joost de Valk (AlthA)]

Confirmed that rendering is wrong, but I'd have to say this is a wontfix, i've tried reducing it but the html 
is so incredibly bad that there is no use. Firefox doesn't get it right either so i don't feel tempted to do 
this... anyone else? Reassigning to webkit-unassigned.

[Scott Ellsworth]

If nothing else, it would be worth trying to come up with some statement of what is wrong, and sending it 
to them.  Perhaps they can be coerced into changing their HTML if given a decent list of why it bites.

The site has changed a lot, and I couldn't find any table like this on it anymore. The attached webarchive is rendered the same way in WebKit and Firefox, so I suggest closing this bug.

[Brent Fulgham]

Safari, Chrome, and Firefox all have the same behavior on the attached webarchive, so I believe the compatibility issues have been resolved.
