I've been having a problem with dillo rendering some portions of text. For instance, the Google sponsored links always take up vertical space before the results.
Normally, this isn't something that I really care about, but now it's causing slashdot to be rendered as black-on-black text, thus depriving me of my ability to read about the new MD5 sums that the RIAA is using.
Yes, I'm getting this too since today. It's probably a small html error somewhere, but it's totally skrewed up dillo's rendering to the fullest here.
Unfortunately slashdot is sending awful HTML-like content. The black text can be explained because they explicitly set the background, textcolor and visited links to black! (<BODY ...>). Probably it changes with CSS.
Since about 2 weeks ago I'm also getting a black border on the right (with exception to today of course where most of the page is black) which just takes up valuable space ;-)
Tried the light mode too like Frank suggests, but I prefer the default layout myself. Anyway, it's not a dillo problem I think, as I get a total of 530 errors just on the index page itself!!!!! Check now too if ya want: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.slashdot.org%2F
Try with "force_my_colors=YES". Now, it still shows several rendering problems. If those are because of lack of implementation of "floats" we should fix it someday. If it's because of bad HTML, you know our policy. OTOH, I believe slashdot webmasters will not pose major problems to fix their HTML if they're emailed with the facts... Please investigate those and report to them. Cheers Jorge.-
