Re: Page rendering with IE6

This is due to cascading table alignment. It appears that nearly every browser but IE6 considers a table with no alignment specified to be "left" while IE6 considers such tables to inherit the alignment of the table that they are in.

I don't recall a final ruling on which behavior is strictly correct according to the standards. But the water seemed muddy enough that the Monastery should probably be patched to avoid the ambiguity. Sorry, no, I have no idea when that might happen.

I mentioned this a while back and also suggested a movement to include CSS classes so that end users could override the display anyway... In addition, this did not affect the previous public beta of IE6; but they 'helpfully' released a "refresh" editon on 22 June which introduced this quirk. Personally, I'd like to see Perl Monks fixed, as I believe the new funcionallity conforms better to what we'd expect from CSS. -- RatArsed	[reply]
