152045 - MZ not handling stylesheet width for hyperlinks

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Steve Smith]

This page references a stylesheet containing this class definition for hyperlinks:

.PageLink
{
	PADDING-RIGHT: 1px;
	PADDING-LEFT: 1px;
	PADDING-TOP: 1px;
	PADDING-BOTTOM: 1px;
	COLOR: white;
	FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans Unicode';
	FONT-SIZE: 10pt;
	BACKGROUND-COLOR: DarkGreen;
	MARGIN: 1px;
	BORDER-LEFT: white 1px solid;
	BORDER-BOTTOM: white 1px solid;
	BORDER-TOP: white 1px solid;
	BORDER-RIGHT: white 1px solid;
	TEXT-ALIGN: center;
	HEIGHT: 20px;
	WIDTH: 200px;
}

In Internet Explorer, the hyperlinks display at the 200px width.  In Mozilla,
they display only at the width of the hyperlink text.

Over to style system.

Invalid?
width does not apply to inline, non-replaced elements
see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visudet.html#q4

Correct, this is invalid.  You need to set 'display: block' (or, in the future,
'display: inline-block') for the 'width' property to apply here.
