Yes, this works, althought the rendering is totally shit ;-) ... definitly not a dillo problem in this case. The problem with Slashdot is that there are just so many tables / blocks that it makes it almost impossible to locate the precise bug (although if I am correct the page is filled with bugs).
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.
Yes, Dillo's policy is good... if the html is wrong then that's too bad. BUT... but but but, instead of manually running through all the code, I tried it with "tidy", which found a grand total of 254 warnings and 0 errors... Well, as for 0 errors, I would say 254 warnings should be more than enough to validate one big error ;-) After running the saved page through tidy, it actualy renders, and renders well!
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.
Yes, I have reported a bug about bad HTML on the sourceforge site. It's not really a matter of bad HTML, as the HTML seems resonable, but they are using terms and codes which are definitely not HTML compliant I would say. If you are interested in the output I have put up the origional page with the "fixed" version, and output of warnings / errors here: http://members.rott.chello.nl/r.slooten2/dillo/ You will see here that it appears as if I'm still logged in.. for some reason I cannot log out, LOL .. but that's not the issue.. you can just see how many invalid html commands they seem to be using, and that after the removal of this, and the insertion of several <font> and </font> attributes fixes the whole page which then renders perfectly in Dillo.
