149560 - Illegal form tags inside <tr> are treated as <td>

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 149282

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

For example,
<table border><tr><form></form><td><br></td><tr><td><br></td></tr></table>
displays a table with "three" cells, although there are only two <tr>s.
This also affects the cell count i.e. however many <td>s you nest in a form they
only count as one cell.
I hear this works on the 1.0 branch, just apparently not on the trunk.

This bug is absent in Release 1.0, but is present in build 2002060508 (both on
win2000).

See Bug 149354 (dupe) for exact description and test case.

jkeiser, could this be your DemoteForm change?

Neil, how is the DOM different in 1.0 and current trunk on the testcase?

Just BTW: thanks for prompt response, I use Mozilla as my primary browser, and
webb app we're developing here relies on these forms-inside-tables heavily, and
I'm getting sick watching each and every page screwed up. ;)

This was the nsFormFrame removal.  <form> inside <tr> before had a special case
that is now not working for some reason.
