Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 46265

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[diggerj11]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

In the page http://blindgoat.net/fub/, or any page where the following are set:
  A: A table with a border
  B: The border color matches the background (This is to allow ONLY certain 
cells to have a border color but not the whole table)
There should be some option of allowing the user to choose whether borders are 
displayed even if the bordercolor matches the background. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a table with these settings: "bordercolor=(same as background) 
border=1"
2. Designate a certain cell (<td>) to have the follwing 
setting: "bordercolor=red (or anything different than the background)"
3. View the table

Actual Results:  
The ENTIRE tables border is shown when only the designated cell with the 
DIFFERENT border color should have the border.

Expected Results:  
Only the cell with the different bordercolor than the background should show 
up. This is used as a design feature to help save time and not have to do 
hundreds of nested tables.

bordercolor is an IE-only non-standard attribute.  We don't/will not support it.

Use CSS to control borders.
