Anyone else seeing flawed rendering of this page using FF?

Using the Beta 2 version of Firefox 1.5, this is the worst rendering I have encountered using this browser. Story text overwrites adjacent sidebars. Further down the page, it is obvious that some characters, if not major portions of the text, are absent where I am seeing an adjacent blank area. The latter may be due to my forbidding certain sites from rendering any data on my viewed pages - might be "missing" ads. Just wondering if the Information Week article appears as disjointed on anyone else's browser. |

It does the same with FF 1.0.7 on Suse 9.3. I actually had to select and paste the text in OOo to read it without getting frastrated. |

Not just FF, either. My Konqueror hates it in pretty much the same way. Opera does much better, but still some problems. Clearly a crappy page. |

Thanks, nice to know. It's probably an IE optimized page standards at work. |

And Mozilla gags on it too. Well done, CMP.net! :P However it looks good when you hit the 'print this article' link: http://www.informationweek.com/shared/printableArticle.jhtml... |

It is all those IFRAME tags in the source which are coded to IE standards not W3C. FF can handle IFRAMES properly as demonstrated by this link
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_ifr... CMP should get their act together if they want to stay on the Intgernet. |

Me too: the "Flash" ad overlaps the article, all the left hand text margins get overlapped by the ads in the left hand column. Slackware 10.1, FF 1.0.3, but I just recompiled GTK+, Cairo, Pango and all those libraries to get PyGTK to work. I'd had other "wrinkly" text problems sometimes in random pages, but this one takes the cake. |

It seems CMP must have fixed their new pages, take a look at this new one http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?artic... It rendered beautifully in FF 1.0.7. Good job CMP and thanks for listening. The previous one still renders very badly; while you are at it, how about fixing it too? We will be checking it again. http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?artic... |
