Confirm, using Build: 2000120504 on WinNT4 Sp6 Works on Netscpae 4.76 and MS IE5.5, but not in SM Friendly, HJ
Oeps, forgot something, stylesheet not found!
stylesheet removed, problem remains.
Build:2000120504 on WinNT4 Sp6b First step: Take off the bgcolor. Then you will see a small error in the source. You need to use width=118 and not width=1. But, it still works in IE 5.5 though. By putting the bgcolor in, you are hiding the error! And we are trying to fix this! Please ask yourself. Should we use the wheels on the HTML car? Or do we make new one's our selfs? I would prefer to use the wheels we have. In other words, what are you doing? You can easily use border=1 for that. Or are you willing to BugTown SM?? Ok, you have a point. The heights are wrong, but who will do this trick like you? I'm not doing it like that! Please, take a look at my source. It's much smaller, and loads faster. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Test Table</title> </head> <body> <table width="120" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="1" summary=""> <tr> <td width="118" align="right"> <a href="web_design.php3">Web Design</a><br> <a href="networking.php3">Networking</a><br> <a href="pc_repairs.php3">PC Repairs</a><br> <a href="consultancy.php3">Consultancy</a><br> <a href="contact_info.php3">Contact Info</a> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> Friendly, HJ (did I miss something, sorry I'm only human)
Ok, it's not the height, but it is about the position in the table! Here's my example: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Test Table</title> </head> <body> <table width="100" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tr> <td height="1"><img src="dot.gif" width="1" height="1" alt="" border="0"></td> <td height="1" ><img src="dot.gif" width="118" height="1" alt="" border="0"></td> <td height="1"><img src="dot.gif" width="1" height="1" alt="" border="0"></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="15"><img src="dot.gif" width="1" height="15" alt="" border="0"></td> <td height="15" align="center">option</td> <td height="15"><img src="dot.gif" width="1" height="15" alt="" border="0"></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="1"><img src="dot.gif" width="1" height="1" alt="" border="0"></td> <td height="1"><img src="dot.gif" width="118" height="1" alt="" border="0"></td> <td height="1"><img src="dot.gif" width="1" height="1" alt="" border="0"></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> B.T.W. I'm not able to send a file, keep getting this message telling me the file is empty. Well I'm so sorry, but it's not empty at all. Please help! Friendly, HJ

Another example: Table at the top of http://huckleberry.colorado.edu/ipmaster/ Should be Height 1 -- instead, it's an ugly black bar Even more strange, because the code to produce this top bar was yanked directly from http://www.colorado.edu/its/, and the bar there displays correctly (height = 1)

Hey kids... I've been trying to do something similar to what you're talking about here... Using a 1 pixel image to create spacer tablerows... explicitly declaring height of both the cell and the row... and having it not work... but I found some interesting stuff... I tried it on Galeon 0.12.6 and Mozilla 2001101201 (both on Linux) and got the errors you described... then I tried it on Netscape 6.1 for Mac (20010726) and it renders exactly as it should... My code is: <tr height="1"><td bgcolor="#666666" height="1"><img src="elements/blank.gif" width="1" height="1"></td></tr> This is a pretty big deal for people who depend on this technique for layout purposes... -jag

Attached file Test case —
2 examples tested with Moz 0.9.7 and IE5.5. In the first example (non-zero border), 0.9.7 renders a cell containing dot.gif at full row height (irrespective of the image alignment). In IE, the row is automatically collapsed to 1 pixel in height. The second example (zero border) gives a potential workaround for web authors by using an empty cell -- which works in Moz 0.9.7 and IE 5.5 but has not been tested with any other browsers (or versions).
Temporarily moving to future until a milestone can be assigned.

The problem I am having is in NS4 and IE when you put an image in a cell the cell will collapse to the images height. Mozilla currently isn't handling that correctly.
This has been fixed, see bug 153032 "Implement almost-standards rendering mode"
