HTML Render Engine

[mrwinc]

Is it just me or does the engine used to render the HTML cfdocument tag
severely lacking in sane behavior. I can code HTML to display the way I want
it displayed with IE, moz, opera all with the same code. However when I try to
get the internal engine with CF7 (the idea I LOVE!!!!) to render my html
exactly how I want it is extremely difficult. Basic HTML and minor aesthic
display elements seem to go across fine. However when you try to get this
engine to render more complex pages (hacked so all browsers would interpret the
same) I just can't find a way to get around some items. Might have anyone
come up with an easy way to test formatting? I'm just having a CFM page call
the page I'm tryint to format via http and just displaying it. I haven't tried
just including the code I'm trying to display yet to see if it makes a
difference. Currently I am re-writing a section to make it more aesthically
pleasing and though I'l include CF7's internal HTML render engine as another
browser type to code for. Could MM just used a open source version of the
gecko engine which is cross platform? I see where this is going an dI like
it. This first release of this feature reminds me alot of the first release of
queries on quries. It is a nice idea but isn't matured yet for production
without excessive baby sitting.

Can you post the html you are trying to render without success. We can use
this to find out what we still need to work on for supporting.
thanks,
