157473 - invisible (black-on-black) text in tables on geocities pages

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 94688

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect, P4)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

http://www.geocities.com/nvbudokai/dojo.htm

The geocities ad code causes text in a table to not inherit the text color from
the body.  Since the background color of the page is black, text in a table is
not readable.  Based on the testcase, I think this happens at any Geocities page
that uses tables and has a black background.

 Confirming this with 2002-07-17-08 branch builds on WIN2K. This might be an 
Evang bug.

Was looking for a unicode katakana chart.
Found this goecities page that pops-up a recommendation to use IE or an old browser.
Reason is probably the invisible text in NS6/Mozilla.

I mean.  they do have javascript on the page that breaks as well.  and the test
is for document.all - but specifically recommending antique browsers... sounds
like they were getting complaints of invisible text.
