[Scummvm-devel] Broken Website

Firefox, Mozilla, and any other browser based on the Gecko rendering 
engine suffer from some very inconsistent table rendering bugs that 
manifest as maligned column widths. If a two-pass table metrics 
computation is required, column widths can be improperly calculated even 
from one row to the next within the same table. The use of consistent 
<col width="###"/> for every single table column can be used to 
alleviate this issue by enabling a single-pass metrics computation in 
most cases.

The W3C strongly discourages the use of tables for visual formatting 
purposes. That's as much of an editorial comment as I'll make on the 
subject.

Cheers,
Jamieson
