147775 - table caption with align=left or right is not correctly rendered

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 3166

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[Jerry]

See this testcase.

<TABLE border="1" align="center" width=200>
<CAPTION align="left">A test table </CAPTION>
<TR><TD>1.7<TD>0.002<TD>43%
</TABLE>

</HTML>

I know that table caption's align attribute is deprecated, but I think mozilla
should still support it for backward compatibility.

if you want to align text in a caption use text-align. Align should place the
caption on the left side of the table not on the top -> see html 4.0 spec. MS
implements the spec wrong.  We will sometime implement the correct align, and
then this MS bug will then be in our way.

I dont agree to mark this as wontfix.
see html 4.0 spec,http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/tables.html#adef-align-CAPTION
