Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050513 Fedora/1.0.4-1.3.1 Firefox/1.0.4

I have a table that I am applying a CSS class to using:
tableObject.className='spreadsheet'; 

The css for the class is 

table.spreadsheet{
  border-collapse: collapse;
  font-family: sans-serif; 
}

when run, border-collapse does not appear to be applied- however if I remove the
font-family line it works. This only occurs when the class is applied using
javascript;


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. View the attached HTML
2. Click go
Actual Results:  
there is a significant gap between cells (i.e., border-collapse is not being
applied)

Expected Results:  
the borders should collapse leaving no spacing between cells

remove the font-family line and border-collapse works.

Done a little more testing; it appears that any css attributes that change the
size of the cell prevent border-collapse from working, while others (such as
color, cursor, etc) which leave the cell sizing alone do not trigger the bug.

Seems to work fine in current trunk build. Reporter, could you please retest
with current trunk build:
