237492 - style="text-align: center;" not working on empty LI element

Status: NEW

(Core :: Layout: Block and Inline, defect)

Description

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

I have some HTML like this:

<ul style="text-align: center;">
  <li></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
  <li>x</li>
</ul>

mozilla does something different than IE, so I'm not sure if this is a bug or not.

I'll attach a screen shot of both mozilla and IE, and some sample HTML

A similar problem (also posted in 293599)
Test case:
http://www.hyperpublish.com/firedivbug/

As you can see:
<div align=center style=s2> (with s2 being additionally a text-align=center
style) does not work when there is a table within the paragraph.

you can see:
http://www.hyperpublish.com/firedivbug/firebug_style.css
DIV.s2 {
	font-family:"Arial";
	font-size:10pt;
	color:#000000;
	margin-left:3mm;
	margin-right:3mm;
	margin-top:0mm;
	margin-bottom:0mm;
	text-indent:0mm;
	text-align:center;
	list-style-type:none;	}

So there are 2 things that say the paragraph (table) must be centered and you
are not centering it.
Same page perfectly aligns with all Opera, IE, Netscape.
And <DIV align=center> is allowed since Netscape 3.0 (I know as I used it, I am
on the Web since 1995 and since Mozilla and Netscape 1.0). I know that now more
prolix tags are suggested, and DIV align is deprecated, but thousand pages still
contains it (NS 3.0 was out around 1996) and I strongly like to optimize the
software for SMALL CODE SIZE.

Please fix your bug, thanx :)

Screenshot behaviour still stands

Behaves differently in Chromium
