178762 - Percentage height ignored for child inside table with table-layout:fixed

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[Joseph]

I was writing a page using IFRAME, and I find that the height and width of the
iframe specified in CSS aren't respected when the page loads.  However, they
*are* respected when the user changes tabs and comes back!

Attached will be images showing before and after changing tabs.

I moved my page in development to http://www.physics.uiowa.edu/~jpingeno, but
the server there is old and braindead, and serves css as text/plain, not
text/css.  Ah well.

I'll take the screen shots and attach them in a second.

Attachment: After changing tabs

After changing tabs.  It took a couple of tries, but it eventually worked.  All
I did betwen pre- and post was change to a couple of different tabs.

Did you want me to resummarize, or were you stating what you did?

Comment 5

[Andrew Schultz]

I would assume the latter.
If you could attach a page here that exhibits the bug it would help a lot.  I
tried creating a simplistic testcase, but it worked fine.

what build are you using?

Comment 6

[Joseph]

The link I gave in the original post serves the content right; just not the
Content-Type.  :/  You could snag a copy of that and put it on a
standards-compliant web server or just snag it locally (after renaming things to
make it be CSS again.)

index.js is missing, needed for a testcase.

Attachment: testcase

the problem seems to only exist with an iframe in a table.

with linux trunk build 2003012722, the frame is initially displayed with a
height of ~100px although the table is the proper height.
When the window is resized, the iframe grows to fill the table.

I can reproduce this on 2004052009.  I did manage to make a work around for this
bug by using getElementById.

It's not only with iframes. I think this happens with every child with a
percentage height inside a table with table-layout:fixed.
So I think a more correct summary would be something like this: "Percentage
height ignored for child inside table with table-layout:fixed"

Resummarizing and changing component.
