I have the following Table code in my HTML file:
<table class="box">
 <tr>
   <td><p class="stitle">
   <a name="c2">Junk email.</a></p></td>
 </tr>
</table>

The CSS code for 'stitle' (in my example) is:
   .stitle { font-size: medium;
             font-family: Arial,Helvetica,serif }

The CSS code for 'box' (in my example) is:
   .box { background-color: #BBDBE6; border-color: #BBDBE6;
          border-width: 0; width: 100% }

On viewing the HTML file in the browser, this code is not displayed at all. ie
there is nothing shown on the page.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write a HTML file with the Table code as shown above.
2. View the HTML file in the browser.
3.

Actual Results:  
The code relating to the Table is not displayed.

Expected Results:  
Display the Table across with full width of the page.

reporter could you try the workaround in bug 246213, if it fixes it for you,
then close this bug as duplicate of that bug

Comment 5

[Ian Molloy]

I'm unable to use the workaround suggested as I don't know what 'about:config'
is  nor how I can find it. Please explain.
Thanks.

Please type in the urlbar instead of http://wwww.foo.comm about:config
typing about:about might be also helpfull as long as you are not using firefox
(or do they have it now?)

I've read the useful URL http://www.mozillazine.org/misc/about:config/ on how to
modify/create preferences and have now added the integer preference
'ui.useAccessibilityTheme' with a value of 0. This now resolves the problems I
had with using Mozilla Build ID 2004061507 on my Win98 machine. From my point of
view, you can close this bug.
Thanks for your help.
