[Zope-CMF] Erratci behaviour

[Carl Rendell]

Not sure, but this could be a browser compatibility issue between 
your zope templates and the Win2k versions of those browsers.

Most of the newer browsers are much more strict about HTML tags 
now, especially when one is left open. I find this quite often when 
comparing the Mac IE 5.2 to Win2k IE 5.5+.

Anyway, Usually i'll test out specific - known good forms to see if 
the problem is related to that or not. I've found that the default 
zpt based skins can be a good starting point.

Also, you can test by calling some of the macros directly so you 
can avoid the main_template. Finally, you can create an HTML page 
without macro calls that works on all the platforms and test that 
in Zope.

Unfortunately there are still quite a few differences between 
browsers on any given platform, and the same browser can behave 
differently from platform to platform.
