159234 - Table with STYLE="border-width:..." does not display correctly

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

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

Description

[Jason Lee]

In Mozilla 1.0, the web page listed above displayed correctly, but 1.1 beta
displays it incorrectly. The row across the top is composed of three cells, with
borders specified by CSS.  The row should only be as big as the images in the
cells (which are specified to be the same size) and is in 1.0, but, in 1.1 beta,
there is a red line (the background color of the table) between the graphic and
the border.

It is valid HTML and CSS (according to w3.org)

Sounds like the wrong inline box model is being applied here?

[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-5, no longer working on Mozilla)]

bz: Did you check which mode the page was in (in View Page Info)?  It ought
to be quirks.

(Just because the page is valid HTML and CSS doesn't mean it should display
the way you think it should.  It only means that we shouldn't give an error
message. :-)

Yeah, I checked and it's quirks....

Comment 4

[Jason Lee]

For what it's worth, here's what I found.  For some reason, Mozilla > 1.0 would
interpret the carriage return at the end of the IMG tag as something to be
displayed:

<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 WIDTH="100%" CLASS="mastertable"
BGCOLOR="990033"  STYLE="border-width: 5px 5px 5px 5px; border-style: solid;
border-color: #000066;">
 <tr>
   <td COLSPAN="5">
     <img SRC="/logo.jpg" HEIGHT="70" WIDTH="100%" ALT="">
   </td>
 </tr>
</TABLE>

would produce the red line at the bottom, where

<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 WIDTH="100%" CLASS="mastertable"
BGCOLOR="990033"  STYLE="border-width: 5px 5px 5px 5px; border-style: solid;
border-color: #000066;">
 <tr>
   <td COLSPAN="5"><img SRC="/logo.jpg" HEIGHT="70" WIDTH="100%" ALT=""></td>
 </tr>
</TABLE>

would not.  All I did was put the entire <TD>...</TD> markup on one line, and
the problem was solved.  In this instance, it doesn't matter because it's all
fairly short, but, for more complex cells, that could make for hard to maintain
markup.  Am I mistaken in thinking the the CR should be ignored?

the url is wfm winxp2004090507

Comment 7

[Gérard Talbot]

The URL looks fine to me with Mozilla 1.8b2 build 2005050305 under XP Pro SP2;
no table layout problem as described (no red line between graphics and border in
top row). I suspect the page code was changed with page redesign.
The bug has been inactive for a long time and Bernd commented that the url was WFM.
For all these reasons:
