221398 - images inside <a> tags do not properly size when the width is a percentage value

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 97695

(Core :: Layout: Images, Video, and HTML Frames, defect)

Description

[Adam]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20030925
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20030925

I realize this particular page was written in Frontpage, but it is still
interesting.  In IE, each image is 75% of the page width.  In Mozilla, the first
image is 75% of the width, the second image is 75% of the remaining 25%, the
third image is 75% of the remaining 6.25%.

Playing around, when I removed each of the <a> tags that were around each image,
Mozilla sized the images just as IE would, each image is 75% of the page width,
here's that same page except w/o the <a> tags:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
Mozilla should be consistant with how the images are sized.
