172380 - cellspacing not working with rules="none"

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[Ivan Dunn]

using javascript to set the table cell colours, cellspacing does not work. (The
cell colour would be defined by a function, not as shown below, but this
illustrates the problem!). code snippet below:

<TABLE CELLSPACING="5" CELLPADDING="5" BORDER="0" RULES="none">
<TR>
   <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript" TYPE="text/javascript">
       document.write("<TD bgcolor='#aaaaaa'>");
   </SCRIPT>
   .... 
     next cell
</TR>
</TABLE>
cellpadding is OK, but not cellspacing!

thanks

Nothing to do with JS.  Everything to do with rules="none".  Cellspacing is the
distance between cell borders.  Not sure what should happen to it if you
suppress all cell borders...

specifing rules invokes the collapsed border mechanism which does exclude
cellspacing.

well, then.
