After taking a quick look at the source code of the page, I see that there are
lots of rowspan="2" attributes. Is this the reason for the borders not being
displayed?

Confirming on WinXP 2003060409.

This problem disappears on reload. You need to clear the cache to see it again.

Comment 5

[Benedikt Kantus]

Alright, now after clearing the cache and reloading the page, I see what the
problem is, though I don't what's causing it ;-)

However it's not the rowspan issue I assumed in comment #1.

The borders on the left two columns change sometimes when you select them. 

I'm having a hard time recreating this on my computer to make a testcase.

[Dewey Williams]

I looked at this page using Mozilla 1.4RC1 (Windows XP) and do not see any
missing table borders.

I cleared my cache and still did not see any problems with the table borders.

The page was created using MS Frontpage 4.0 and has numerous "mso-" styles embedded.

[Bill Mason]

Assigning to proper component owner.

[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-4, no longer working on Mozilla)]

Something with overflow handling related to what happens when the background
image loads, or something like that?

Comment 10

[Mats Palmgren (inactive)]

Also occurs on Linux. Table is "border-collapse: collapse".

Comment 11

[Doug Wright]

I've seen this happen on tables without border-collapse: collapse. So it's not
that limited.

Comment 12

[Andrew Schultz]

URL is 404.
Peto: do you have a copy of the page?  If not, this bug can be closed.

Comment 13

[Peto]

For sure You are joking. The bug wasn't fixed for more than year, even the
webpage has moved since the report, and You want to close it?

No, not that easy :o) The actual URL is

Have the same problem with this table: if it concers only one tr, there a no
problem, but if there a multiple tr's then there a problems, not on every
computer, see for yourself:

<TABLE width='100%' border='1' class='table'>

 
    <TR> 
	<TD colspan='4' height='30'><H2>Titel</H2></TD> 
    </TR> 
    <TR> 
        <TD colspan='4' background='../images/texture.gif' height='45'><P
align='right'>Page:<SELECT name='pagina'><option value='1'>1</option> 
            <option value='2'>2</option></SELECT></P> 
       </TD>    
    </TR> 
    <TR> 
        <TD width='15%' height='100' rowspan='3' valign='top'><font
size='4'><b>naam</b><BR> 
        </font> 
        Avatar<BR> 
        <B><font size='1'>Short text</font></B><BR> 
        <BR> 
        <BR> 
        <font size='1'><B>Posts: </B> 18<BR> 
        <B>Location:</B>Norg<BR> 
        <B>Registerd:</B>29th of October 2003</font> 
        </TD> 
        <TD height='23' width='80%'> <font size='2'>By Guldan - Thursday 02nd of
December 2004 04:29:43 PM</font>&nbsp;</TD> 
        <TD>Include rechten module </TD> 
    </TR> 
    <TR> 
        <TD height='100' width='80%' colspan='2'>Topic Titel</TD> 
    </TR> 
    <TR> 
    	<TD width='70%' colspan='3' height='20'> 
    	<FONT size='1'>Signature</FONT> 
    	</TD>  
    </TR> 
    <TR> 
    	<TD background='../images/texture.gif' colspan='4'>&nbsp;</TD> 
    </TR>
 </TABLE>   	

What could that be????

Layout is not changed by the reflow branch; testcase looks the same in:
- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/2006120606 Minefield/3.0a (pre-reflow branch)
- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/2006120804 Minefield/3.0a1 (post-reflow branch)
