161566 - border-collapse property causing table element borders to completely disappear

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 141660

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect, P3)

Description

[Will Holcomb]

In this page, http://www.himinbi.org/~will/test_table_borders.html, the table is
as follows:

+-------+--------+         cell | rowspan
|  a1   |   b1   |         ==============
+-------+        |           a1 |    1
|  a2   |        |           a2 |    2
|       +--------+           b1 |    2
|       |   b2   |           b2 |    1
+-------+--------+

When the border-collapse property is set to collapse there is no border between
elements b1 and b2. (These is a border between a1 and a2.)

Clicking on the document toggles the borderCollapse style property (though it
only works once in what I think is another bug.)

The expected behavior is for there to be a border between b1 and b2.

The page validates for both html and css.

Confirming bug, 2002-08-06-14 on Linux.

When I resized the window back and forth fast, I can see the border being
painted briefly.
