126579 - height of tr td or image not properly displayed using CSS

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 22274

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Georg Mittendorfer]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020204
BuildID:    2002020415

The following should display a single black table row with one pixel height
(black line). This works for opera and konqueror (for netscape 4.x only if the
td and img tags are written in one line).

<tr style="background: #000000">
  <td><img src="img/black.png" height="1" width="1" alt="" /></td>
</tr>



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.following code (e.g.) has to be present:
<tr style="background: #000000">
  <td><img src="img/black.png" height="1" width="1" alt="" /></td>
</tr>

2. open the page
3. voila

Actual Results:  mozilla displays a thick (approx 15 pixels) black line

Expected Results:  display a black line with 1 pixel heigth

<tr style="background: #000000">
  <td><img src="img/black.png" height="1" width="1" alt="" /></td>
</tr>

the pixel is necessary for some browsers that don't understand CSS (as e.g.
netscape 4.x who leaves this line empty instead). A workaround would be <tr
background="#000000"> but that is not valid strict XHTML.

Reporter, this problem is described in
http://developer.netscape.com/evangelism/docs/articles/img-table/. Pundits say
that Mozilla in this case behaves according to specs, and that the code must be
corrected (or the headers changed so that Mozilla uses the "quirks" mode).

Pls mark duplicate of bug 22274.
