Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 169078

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Andrés G. Aragoneses]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/2002121215

On the URL http://www.zonatuning.com/2003/foros/ there is a forum. If you put
the mouse over the table that contains the forum, all the text in it is
underlined, when it shouldn't be (IE browser shows it correctly).

In fact, this was working well in some earlier version of Mozilla, I think
Mozilla 1.0.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://www.zonatuning.com/2003/foros/ .
2. Put the mouse over the forum table.

Actual Results:  
All the text is suddenly underlined.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla shouldn't underline the text.

wfm using build 20030117 on Linux.

Worksforme in build 2003011703 (latest trunk) on Mac OS 9.2.2.

In the past, these bugs were often caused by a <A NAME="..."> tag that was
missing the </A> (and the stylesheet added a hover to all A-tags).

I see this effect, but it is not a bug, but desired effect. All text here placed
in table with class normal, and this class have css definition:

.normal:hover			{ font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:
12px; color: #333399; text-decoration: underline; background-color: #ffffff; }

(almost all text here have same rule for :hover). So it is IE bug, browser
should underlined all table content when mouse over this table

So, can you tech me how to tell the webmaster to modify the page, so as Mozilla
users can see it well?

Comment 5

[Chris Lyon]

->INVALID, not a Mozilla bug

Tell the webmaster to remove the :hover properties, and to test using Mozilla.

Comment 6

[Andrés G. Aragoneses]

Perhaps Mozilla should only underline an individual sentence instead of the
whole table, when placing the mouse over that zone? Are you sure it is not a
Mozilla bug?

I don't think the webmaster will colaborate and try the page with Mozilla. The
only thing I can do is telling him EXACTLY what change to do :(

Reopening bug (it was badly explained last time.)
Changing all the bug to a different point of view. (Changed URL and Summary.)

And the new details are:

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3a)
Gecko/20021212
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3a)
Gecko/2002121215

On the URL http://www.zonatuning.com/2003/foros/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=1 there is a
forum. If you put the mouse over a topic of the forum, all the text in the table
is underlined, when only the sentence behind should be underlined.

In fact, this was working well in some earlier version of Mozilla, I think
Mozilla 1.0.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://www.zonatuning.com/2003/foros/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=1 .
2. Put the mouse over a topic on the forum.

Actual Results:  
All the text on the table is suddenly underlined.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should underline only the sentence of the link.

Let's see now if it is a Mozilla bug or not! :-o

Ok, sending to Style for someone there to decide.

Comment 9

[Ruslan Ismailov]

It is not a bug at all. It is a webmaster decision -- to made all sentences in
table higlighten. So this bug should be resolved or as Invalid or as Tech
Evangelism.

Let me explain this :hover. As stated in w3c manual :hover mean, that this style
apply to element when mouse (amother HID) goes over element. So if table class
is normal, and normal:hover have properety "underline", than browser SHOULD
underline all table content, not only 1 sentence. So if you want to fix it, ask
webmaster's to remove underline from .normal:hoover. 

BTW, in this page :hover is noncence.

[Andrés G. Aragoneses]

Sorry but I don't agree. I have tried it in my machine, I'll explain:

I have saved the page on my desktop, I have removed the underline property on
the hover class, and I have browsed the page with Mozilla. But now, when the
mouse is over a sentence, the sentence is not underlined, so that's not the
solution. Mozilla should underline only ONE sentence, not the whole table (as IE
does).

Comment 11

[Ruslan Ismailov]

You wrong. If you remove underline form .normal:hover -- it stop underlined this
text.

Correct class:

.normal:hover { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:
12px; color: #333399; background-color: #ffffff; }

So it's INVALID bug, because emulate IE bug's is not way to perform.

Comment 12

[Ruslan Ismailov]

Reporter! If you does not agree, then this bug should be moved to Tech
Evangelism. because Mozilla render this page accordin to standarts.

BTW. To underline ONLY 1 link, webmaster should add 

.normal a:hover	{  text-decoration: underline; }

Because it is exact what he/she want.

Comment 13

[Andrés G. Aragoneses]

Oh that's it. Now I agree. I just wanted a solution to show the page the same
way in IE and Mozilla, to tell the webmaster.

I have tried to delete the underline property on .normal:hover, and inserted the
new one .normal a:hover, and now it works properly. Thank you very much.

Marking verified.

It may be invalid, but it's something we've added a quirk for, so reopening.

(Note also that ":link:hover, :visited:hover" is better than "a:hover" since
"a:hover can match named anchors.  Correcting the page remains a good idea, and
we still behave correctly in standards mode.  See
http://mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/quirks/ .)
