Puneet & Blaise,
Thank you for your feedback. I test with Firefox and IE, but have
never tried a KHTML-based browser (either Safari or Konqueror). I
didn't realize that Gecko was more forgiving of non-standard HTML than
KHTML, that's great to know.
KHTML is the HTML layout engine developed by the KDE project.
Built on the then new KPart framework, it was introduced with KDE2 in
2000, for use in the new Konqueror file and web browser which replaced
the monolithic KDE File Manager. Written in C++ and licensed under the
LGPL, it supports most of the standards related to web browsing. In an
attempt to render as many pages as possible, some extra abilities and
quirks from Internet Explorer are supported, even though they are not
part of the HTML standard definition.
KHTML is fast, but currently less error tolerant than the Gecko layout
engine, its main open source rival and core of the Mozilla and Mozilla
Firefox browsers, among others.
Note the last line above.
