230681 - CSS2 counter facility not implemented or not working

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 3247

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Tobias Herp]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031208

CSS2 specifies a mechanism for counters which seems not to be supported at all
by Mozilla yet. I found 6 issues for this, but /all of them/ are marked
duplicate: 9840, 51393, 70191, 81381, 190268 and 213703; seems there is none of
them currently active. I have created two little test cases.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
The :before content is not generated when it contains counters.

Expected Results:  
Should have inserted the :before content.

This bug prevents Mozilla from being CSS2 compliant.

Uses the counters() function, counter styles and the self-nesting feature
(might need correction)

dupe of bug 3247 or perhaps you opened this bug report for another specific reason ?

Searching for existing bugs I had not found bug 3247 because this one states
that :before and :after would not be supported at all; but that's not true...
Ok, seems that it is really about counters.  I'll have a look for test-cases
there and, if appropriate, append my own.
