246536 - Hiding/showing a TR causes table to be rendered incorrectly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 97506

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[Joachim Kruyswijk]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040608
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040608

Any element can be hidden by setting its style.visibility = "hidden" and its
style.display = "none". It can then be made visible again by setting its
style.visibility = "visible" and its style.display = "block".
When hiding and subsequently showing a TR element, the whole TR seems to appear
in the first TD. Also, every time the row is made visible, extra space is added
to the table.
Please look at http://members.chello.nl/pjkru/personal/MozillaBug001.html for
more detailed information, including a table that should illustrate the problem
(and an image if it doesn't).


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://members.chello.nl/pjkru/personal/MozillaBug001.html
2.Click on 'Click here' in the (first, uppermost) table
3.Repeat step 2 about four times

Actual Results:  
Table is rendered incorrectly; the whole row appears in the first cell.

Expected Results:  
Row should become invisible and visible again.

Default installation of Mozilla, bug also happens in Firefox.

This happens becuause the default display value of a table row is table-row, not
block.

Toggle between display none and "" to get something that works cross-browser.

This has been reported before and should be closed as a duplicate to the
appropriate bug.
