152053 - Anchor class changes everything in TD

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect, P3)

Font styles for Anchor states are changing every thing inside a TD. Example
there are 4 links inside a TD. Hovering over the first causes all of them to
underline, not just the first one. It only seems to effect the underline
attribute. Changes in font face of color don't leak.

I'll attach a before and after picture.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. View the attached URL.

Actual Results:  All links in the TD underline.

Expected Results:  Only the one curently hovered should underline

This url is producing a error for me. Reporter, can you please provide a test
case  that reproduces this problem ? Marking invalid until we get more information.

It still does it...and here is another location doing the same thing. Sorry the
URL was down when you tested it.

http://www.yabb.info/community/index.php?board=161;action=display;threadid=7444

Look at the forum navigation near the top of the page. The Name of the forum,
the board, the article. all are in seperate anchorss. Highlighting one causes
them all to change.

The nerd3D forum shows it better. Look here...

I've found a way to work around this on my site. I believe this is a valid bug
though. The Anchor's class should over ride the container class (A font in this
case) it is not. 

I've isolated the trouble and will attach a test case to this bug.

This demonstrates the bug.

This is invalid.  text-decoration is not inherited; it's just painted by the
node that it's set on.  So if it's set on the <td>, it can't be "turned off" by
setting it to "none" on the children of the <td>.

Actually this was valid, and was fixed around 1.4 someplace. I was not following
closely and don't know exactly when it was corrected. I should have come back
here and closed this bug when I noticed.

Thanks to whoever fixed it!
