Testcase
235 bytes, text/html

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux ppc; U;) Gecko/20020724

given the style sheet:

TABLE>TR>TD {color: green}

I think the following html document should be rendered with green text:

<html>
    <head>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheet.css">
     </head>
    <body>
        <table>
            <tr>
                <td>Green text</td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </body>
</html>

But the text remains black. When I change the stylesheet to:

TABLE>*>TR>TD {color: green}

the test is green and I don't think it should be.

This is being caused by the implicit TBODY element.  If you were to change the
CSS to read TABLE>TBODY>TR>TD {color: green}, it would also work.

Since TBODY is not required in the HTML though by
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/tables.html#edef-TBODY>, should the CSS
require an assumption that it is there?

Marking new since testcase behaves the same in build 2002091014 PC/Win98.  OS to
All.  Added kw testcase.

Really marking NEW.  Sorry for the spam.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true

    
    

    
  
In HTML the TBODY element is not optional, it's only the start and end tags that
are optional. They are optional because the element can be unambiguously
implied. The element is still there regardless of whether it is there because
the tags were implied or because the tags were explicitly mentioned.

INVALID.
