If a table is specified with a rules="groups" attribute, the table is still drawn with rules between every row and column, not respective of row and column groups. This is contrary to the HTML 4.0 specification: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/tables.html
Summary: TABLE rules="groups" does not function [4.xP] → [4.xP] <table rules="groups"> does not function
Setting the keyword all open [4.xp] bugs to 4xp.

Changing URL as the original testcase has moved. I think the 4xp should be removed (see discussion n.p.m.qa.general 4xp for "competitor products" Considered Harmful from 2000-09-06) BTW IE5 handles the rules perfect.

This should be changed to Platform=All and OS=All as it's a platform-independant problem. I've also attached a testcase that shows that this bug is actually broader in scope, as the RULES attribute in general is not functioning correctly for any of the five valid values for it (none, groups, rows, cols and all). I propose retitling this bug "Incorrect display of tables with any RULES attribute". Does anyone object? This testcase also shows that FRAME values aren't being handled properly, but perhaps it's best to make this bug about RULES in particular.

When I opened this bug, what I really wanted was for Mozilla to handle all values of the "frame" and "rules" attributes correctly, like Internet Explorer.
Summary: <table rules="..."> attribute ignored → <table> frame and rules attributes not handled correctly
We missed the target milestone of M17. Should we push it up to 0.9?
Marking mozilla1.0 like bug 41262.

Does appear to be Resolved in FizzillaCFM/2002022309.
On my test page http://www.robinlionheart.com/stds/html4/tables.html, Win32 nightly build 20020303 does the rules="groups" table correctly for the row groups, but not for the column groups -- there are rules between all columns, not just the column groups. (Portions of the column bars are invisible in the results table on http://www.robinlionheart.com/stds/html4/ for some reason, also, but that's probably a rendering issue rather than a Tables issue.)

that's bug 127798 , or is that a dup of this?
My build from this morning shows several horizontal lines on the last two test cases that extend the entire browser window. Is this a known issue?
I can't access the urls in comment #29. If they have a colgroup with a span, then that is probably bug 127798, which is a problem in table frame construction. The test cases in this bug still work ok, so I'm closing it again. Please open a new bug if the new test cases are not a dup of bug 127798.

Eric: could that be bug 72979 ?
I don't think so. I'm attaching a screen shot showing some of the over-active rules. They come and go with repaints, so moving windows over them and scrolling off screen changes which lines are over extended
Eric: file a new bug and cc me
I think there may be some painting problems involving collapsed borders. A new bug and a reproduceable test case would be great.
Verified.. Fixed from the checkins made.
