18218 - 'inline-table' should not be recognised by CSS parser

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect, P3)

Description

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

If 'inline-table' is not implemented, then the entire 'display' declaration in
which it occurs should be ignored. That is so that authors can easily work
around this lack of feature. NOTE! THIS IS CURRENTLY A BUG!

i.e., currently, the following:

   SPAN { display: inline; }
   SPAN { display: inline-table; }

...renders the span as 'display:none', but it should render as a simple inline
element. This is due to the forward-compatability parsing rules: if a feature
is not supported, then the declaration should be ignored.

If inline-table is going to be implemented, then this bug is invalid. If it is
not going to be implemented, though, then this should be fixed before release.

'inline-table' support is covered by bug 18217.

Migrating from {css1} to css1 keyword. The {css1}, {css2}, {css3} and {css-moz}
radars should now be considered deprecated in favour of keywords.
I am *really* sorry about the spam...

Fixed. Like 'compact', 'run-in' and 'marker', a declaration containing 
'display:inline-table' is entirely ignored by the CSS parser.
