Attachment: IncertCell(-1) worked as stated in DOM2

As you could see, InsertCell(-1) and InsertRow(-1) working properly. Maybe you
apply InsertCell to HTMLTableElement? It is impossible to add Cell to table,
possible only to row (see
http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-DOM-Level-2-HTML-20030109/html.html#ID-68927016)

I tbink this bug should be resolved as duplicate of "Table methods
"insertRow()"/"insertCell()" should accept (-1) value to indicate "append at end"

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 30419 ***

That bug was closed INVALID. If you want to dupe this one, at least reopen that one.

[Ruslan Ismailov]

I know, but do you realy think IncertCell is not working? If yes, please made an
example or give a URI, and I reopen bug 30419.

Yes. It doesn't work. Your attachment doesn't work, and bug 30419 was never
fixed. AND I quoted the relevant section of the code. What more do you want?

I wouldn't have opened this bug if insertCell was working.

Okay, nevermind. It has been fixed in the trunk. I checked 1.0 branch by accident.
