Details
Copying from a Mozilla-displayed table should insert tab characters to indicate table cell boundaries, eg when copying the displayed 3-column table Account Debit Credit ------- ----- ------ 104 Cash in Bank 25.00 200 Accts Receivable 6.00 the text "6.00" should be preceded by two tab characters. IE handles this properly, so that the copied text from the page (eg a bank statement) can be pasted by the user into a spreadsheet application. This is critical to Mozilla's use when displaying financial data.

-->Myself It seems to be an RFE than bug and as the reporter mentioned I don't see 2 tab characters anywhere with IE 5.0. I tried a simple test with a 2 * 3 table: AAA BBB CCC DDD EEE and the output was as follows: With IE: -------- AAA BBB CCC DDDD EEEE With MOZILLA: -------------- AAA BBB CCC DDDD EEEE
