while working on a site, i tried to assign the same background image to an
entire column in a table. it didn't work, so i checked IE's interpretation of
the code ( IE acted as i expected. that doesn't mean much, i know ), and then
checked the w3c to see if i was mistaken in my expectations. according to this
page http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/tables.html#h-11.2.4 , i wasn't;
<col> tags are supposed to be stylable, but mozilla doesn't do this.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a table of at least 2 rows and 2 columns.
2. create at least one <colgroup> with-in that table, and at least one <col>
inside that <colgroup>.
3. apply a style to that <col>
Actual Results:
nothing; the style is not applied to the cells in the column
Expected Results:
all cells in the appropriate column should receive the given style.
some sample code to demonstrate the bug follows:
<html>
<body>
<table border="1" width="50">
<colgroup>
<col style="color: #FF0000;">
</colgroup>
<tr height="25">
<td> 1 </td><td> 2 </td>
</tr>
<tr height="25">
<td> 1 </td><td> 2 </td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Note that in no case should "color" work as you think it should work. See
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html#q4 for the four properties that apply to
<col>.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
ok, duely noted. but originally, i was attempting to manipulate the
background-image. my use of color, was simply to demonstrate quickly that col's
don't seem to be doing ANYTHING with style, rather than simply ignoring
backgrounds ( which now makes sense, in light of bug 4510 ( by the way, i did
search; apologies for the duplication )).
out of curiosity, does anyone know why there are such restrictions on col's? i
understand that cells are supposed to be children of rows, but in the special
case of columns, i would think the very point would be to have them inherit from
the column, and not the row.
