Package: khtml
Version: KDE 2.1.0 
Severity: normal
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

The page http://www.koehntopp.de/zugriffe/usage_200103.html is rendered false in \
Konqueror, if the window is to small. Konqueror fails to display a horizontal \
scrollbar, but the right part of the table "Monthly Statistics for March" in the top \
of the page is rendered past the right margin of the window. Not all of the table is \
visible, and there is no horizontal scrollbar.

A related effect is visible in http://www.koehntopp.de/comments.html, where part of \
the comment tables is always rendered past the right margin of the window \
(independent of window width), and there is no horizontal scrollbar ever.

Both pages utilize a strange construct where a <table align="left"> is rendered next \
to a <div> which is much longer than the <table>. This construct allows for very fast \
page rendering in Netscape and MSIE, and allows overly long lines to display past the \
right window margin without widening the whole text layout as if the whole page were \
a table with two <TD>s next to each other.

I am available for a longer explaination of the page layout and how and why it is \
done the way it is. I believe Netscape renders the page correctly, and MSIE does \
render is "somewhat right" (i.e. the MSIE interpretation of the standard is valid but \
ugly). Konqueror is closer to MSIE than to Netscape in its rendering.
