Description Darren Poulson 2001-06-17 01:44:44 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           khtml
Version:           KDE 2.1.1 
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          Glibc gcc 2.95.3
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

When rendering frames the row/column sizes are set from left to right however in some instances this causes problems. For example in most other browsers if the frameset was set to 50% 700 50% the 700 would take precidence and the two 50% would take up half the remaining width each so that the main part of the page would be 700 pixels wide in the middle. Konqueror (or rather khtml) makes the first column half the width of the page which makes it all look rather pants! *8-). I've tested a page like this in IE5.5 NS4.77 and Opera and they all work as expected.

Thanks.

Darren.

can you name such a page so we can test it ourselves as you use rather old 
sources ?

I noticed it in a web page that a friend was designing. I've put an example 
of what I mean on my website at www.flapper.demon.co.uk/test.html

Renders fine in NS and opera. Is this a case of khtml following standards and 
the rest of the world ignoring them?

Thanks.

This seems to be a good example of one of the (increasingly rare good
job guys) sites that konqueror mangles horribly:

http://arstechnica.com/cpu/

The problem is visually rather obvious and probably best seen by just
using the "open with netscape" button to see them side by side.

The main frame on this site ends up being very squished in konqueror
apparently because konqueror prioritizes the frames differently than
everybody else. Not knowing html I can't reall ygive any better
information.

Tested with CVS as of yesterday or so.

No fake - I'm a big fan of konqueror and I use it for everything.
Anti-aliased fonts won me over and I've been really happy with it.

Thanks compiling right now.

Linus says it's done so I guess it's done! ;)
