Wt

Hello,

I am starting development of a website using Wt. The website must work with modern (evergreen) browsers, but also with one specific oldie: Firefox 1.5.0.9 (Dec. 2006). To test if Wt can do this, I created a basic main screen with the following layout (no CSS used):

-------------------------------

| logo | title | menu |

-------------------------------

| content pages |

-------------------------------

| status info |

-------------------------------

The following code creates the main page:

@

auto logo = Wt::cpp14::make_uniqueWt::WImage(WLink("/logo.png"));

auto title = Wt::cpp14::make_uniqueWt::WText("Title");

auto menu = Wt::cpp14::make_uniqueWt::WText("Menu");

auto hlayout_top = Wt::cpp14::make_uniqueWt::WHBoxLayout();

hlayout_top->addWidget(std::move(logo), 0);

hlayout_top->addWidget(std::move(title), 1);

hlayout_top->addWidget(std::move(menu), 0);

...

auto vlayout = Wt::cpp14::make_uniqueWt::WVBoxLayout();

vlayout->addLayout(std::move(hlayout_top), 0);

vlayout->addLayout(std::move(hlayout_mid), 1);

vlayout->addLayout(std::move(hlayout_bot), 0);

auto framework = Wt::cpp14::make_uniqueWt::WContainerWidget();

framework->setLayout(std::move(vlayout));

root()->addWidget(std::move(framework));

@

Chrome 60 and Firefox 55 display the page correctly. But Firefox 1.5.0.9 draws the logo, title and menu vertically:

-------------

| logo |

-------------

| title |

-------------

| menu |

-------------

| content |

-------------

| status |

-------------

Why is the page not rendered correctly in Firefox 1.5.0.9? Should the main screen layout be created differently?

I'm using Wt 4.0.0-rc2 with Boost 1.64.
