202635 - HTML Table heights don't support percentages as arguments

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 88035

(Core :: Layout: Tables, enhancement)

Description

[David]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

My web site was originally designed in IE 5.5, before I got Mozilla...  Anyway,
the ONLY problem I'm having (I previously reported a CSS bug which turned out to
be flawed code on my behalf due to a badly written book...) is that my code for
the HTML table is supposed to make the main table occupy the ENTIRE height of
the page.  Table height properties in Mozilla only accept pixel values, not
percentages.  The table width properties work fine with percentages as arguments.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Simply visit the website.  The best thing to do would be compare how the page
looks in IE and Mozilla.

Mozilla DOES support table height percents, but height="100%" is messed up when
you have a center tag around the table.  Bug 88035 covers the center tag
weirdness.  David, to fix your page simply remove the center tags that are
around the table.  Centering a table that fills the entire window doesn't really
make much sense.

As well, you have a 2 height attributes in the table tag (line 10).  Although
these appear to have no effect, you should probably remove the one you don't
want so you don't have any problems in the future.

This bug should be a dup of bug 88035.

P.S. completely unrelated to this bug: your stylesheet declaration has a space
in the type attribute (right before text/css) - type =" text/css"

Attachment: testcase

This testcase shows the bug.  If you remove the center tags, the table takes up
100% of the window like its supposed to do.
