139569 - colgroups with align and span attributes are not rendering correctly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 915

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[Paul Nendick]

This has also been tested with the same version of Mozilla on Linux with
identical resultant behavior.

Mozilla doesn't appear to honor the attributes 'span' and 'align' within
'colgroups' when rendering tables.  The attached examples were created by
running the code sample found at
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/tables.html#h-11.5 through "HTML Tidy"
version "1st March 2002" found at http://tidy.sourceforge.net and then through
Mozilla 0.99.

The attached images compare the results given by the w3 document
(colgroups_w3c.org), IE 5.0 (colgroups_ie5.org), and Mozilla 0.99
(colgroups_moz99.png).  The html file used in the latter two tests is also
attached (colgroups.html).

 Bug 915 describes that align and valign attributes of col and colgroups are not 
working.
