User-Agent:
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113
Using the XHTML 1.1 DTD:
If you apply a CSS definition for the default rendering of the <html> element
that includes a height assignment, the height assignment is ignored. By
default, the <html> element is rendered to fill 100% of the vertical space of
the canvas (less any margin & border settings).
Reducing the size of the canvas (window) resizes the <html> element until the
element is the minimum size to contain the <body> content.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Apply the following CSS:
------------------------------
html {
background-color:Teal;
border:solid 2px yellow;
margin-top:10px;
margin-bottom:10px;
margin-left:10px;
margin-right:10px;
padding-top:10px;
padding-bottom:10px;
padding-left:10px;
padding-right:10px;
width:80%;
height:500px;
}
body {
background-color:White;
border:solid 2px red;
margin:50px;
padding:10px;
width:500px;
height:400px;
}
------------------------------
2. Create a simple web page that references the XHTML 1.1 DTD. Include above
CSS in an external reference. A simple web page containing a small amount of
text container(s) in the <body> tag. (a single <p> is sufficient)
3. Vertically resize the window to note the dynamic resizing of the <html>
element regardless of the element's defined "height" property.
Actual Results:
Mozilla did not honor the height setting. - Width settings are honored.
Expected Results:
The software should have drawn the yellow border @ the 500px mark, and the
border should not have resized when the window's vertical dimensions were
adjusted.
I also attempted to apply the height style setting inline, and was
unsuccessful.
