An applet which has been set at a height=80% fails to see the percentage sign
and defaults to a height of 80.  This only fails in the Firebird build version
of Mozilla.

Daniel: can you provide a testcase or URL that provides an example of this effect?

I've got similar problems with Mozilla 1.4 rc2:

(Strangly enough
http://www.nr.no/~perroe/blank_java/blank2.html works)

Attachment: simplified testcase

I think we can use the testcase provided in comment #2. By doing so I can
reproduce the problem also using Mozilla SeaMonkey Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U;
WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030623!

Hence this one should be moved over to Product "Browser" after searching for
dupes.

Comment 4

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

The testcases in comments 2 and 3 show everything working as expected -- in
standards mode a height of "100%" is the same as a height of "auto" if the
parent height is "auto".  In quirks mode, we violate the CSS box model and do
something weird.

If those testcases are all we have for this bug, the bug is invalid.

This doesn't belong in the Phoenix component.
