Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Microsoft: Evil Empire or Suitable Software?

Yeah it comes from the same thing, render as you go,
opposed to rendering when it's complete.  Obviously if
you render as you go and you miss a closing table tag,
who cares the table has allready been rendered.  As
opposed to Netscape it's waiting looking for that
closing table tag so it can render the table and it
never finds it, so it never shows up.
