There are 2 embedded tables.
Each time one clicks the check box, a (inner) table row is shown/hidden. The
(outer) TD in which this table is placed gets higher and higher as the contents
of the embedded table are shown/hidden. Very ugly.
Works fine with Netscape and IE.


Reproducible: Always

You have to create a userid on www.anewplace.co.nz (make it MOZBUG or something
similar I will not delete), and start filling the form which creates a listing
to see the bug. bug is seen at 2 locations:
- garage/parking for xx cars
- 'Other premise attached' check box

Actual Results:  
table row height grows for ever

Expected Results:  
table row height remains constant

just a quick question does the javascript use display:block or none for table rows?

Comment 2

[gratou]

that's right. 

style.display = "block" or "none" for TR.

Don't tell me it is already known, I looked hard before posting.  :P

Ooops, i have found:

97506 and 175190. Both seem to point to the same thing. 

The latter should be tagged as a duplicate of the former, apparently.

3 years and not fix  :(  Looks like an ad for M$

Hopefully Jon will find the error. 
I see that you are aware of both, Bernd, and since i am a total noobie, I leave 
it up to you what do do with this one, and what do do with the 2 duplicates.  

Funny that the bug wasn't there in netscape. But hey, what do i know?

Thanks guys, Chris.

fyi, I modified the markup to work around this bug.
I added a span inside the table, and i now display=none/block the span instead
of tr. 
works fine for me coz i dont't care about hiding the actual row, i.e. the row
taking height space is no issue. not eveyone's workaround.
cheers.
