284307 - CSS style "border:1 solid" red fails. Only works if include the 'px'

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 129267

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[John Page]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1

When the style "border: 1 solid red" is used no border is drawn.  However if you
include the px like this:  "border: 1px solid red" the border is drawn
correctly.    I am not sure if this is a standards issue, but IE will accept it
either way.  Also Firefox will accept a missing px in the style "border-width:1"
so it is inconsistent.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a web page containing:
<div style="border: 1 solid red">Hello world</div>
2.Display the page.  

Actual Results:  
no border

Expected Results:  
a 1 pixel red border

Standards mode requires units. Since you didn't provide a testcase, I'm assuming
that you are using a standards mode doctype. But feel free to reopen if you have
a testcase.

Attachment: Shows inconsistent requirement of units

I attached an html file showing the doctype and showing that the units
requirement (px) is inconsistent.

[Richard Brodie]

You're correct: Firefox is not particularly consistent here; in standards mode
it would require units in both cases. 

The quirks mode behaviour is covered by bug 129267

I don't really see a point of this bug. Units (eg. "px") *are* required and the
fact that sometimes browser accepts value without units is a quirk, which is
what you would expect from Quirks mode. If you put the browser in standarts
compliance mode, it won't accept unitless numbers I think.
