[bugzilla-daemon at webkit.org]

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20767

           Summary: Incorrect or bad handling of layer tags
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh Intel
               URL: http://www.api-digital.com/
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Layout and Rendering
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: preston at synergy-solutions.biz


I'm pretty sure the rendering error is due to some incorrect html in the page
but I have seen this on numerous sites, so it might be something that Webkit
needs to handle a little more gracefully.  The problem is that on sites like
http://www.api-digital.com/ and http://www.rti.com/, WebKit somehow doesn't
understand or parse the layer tags as the web designer intended, so it looks
like it just prints them out in the order that they were in the HTML.  I have a
feeling Dreamweaver is the culprit for these layers, and the missing doctype
doesn't help either.  BTW this is tested using WebKit nightly trunk build
36309.  I might also add that I have tested these sites in Firefox and they
handle this gracefully.
