102514 - Very incorrect rendering of aligned tables

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[Daniel Glazman (:glazou) (not active in Mozilla any more)]

The test case attached shows that we should not use the float property in html.css
for table alignment but we should use instead

    margin-left: auto; margin-irhg: 0px      for right alignment
    margin-right: auto; margin-left: 0px     for left alignment

Daniel, just a question from the ignorant: we render this identical to NN4.7 and
IE6, despite the two doctypes in the document, so what is wrong

Bernd : oh ! I must admit I looked only at the spec :-) Hmm, ok, guessing it is
a WONTFIX even if the rendering is still, from a spec point of view, absolutely
incorrect... Marking WONTFIX
