297988 - Firefox miscalculates the width of a table cell if a div within it is using CSS padding.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 258523

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[bugzillaspam]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

First of all, this does not happen in IE or Opera (try it).  It happens because
firefox isn't counting the padding when it calculates the width of the cell. 
Firefox has done this at least since 0.9 because that's the first time I tried
it and it was doing it then too.  It's really evident if you look at this
example in a browser:

<table cellspacing="4" bgcolor="000" width="300"
align="center"><tr><td><div
style="background-color:ff0000;width:100%;padding:10px">wefw</div></td></tr></table>



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Seriously, all you have to do is load the example html I provide into
firefox, it will jump right out at you:

<table cellspacing="4" bgcolor="000" width="300"
align="center"><tr><td><div
style="background-color:ff0000;width:100%;padding:10px">wefw</div></td></tr></table>

Actual Results:  
div oversteps the right border of the enclosing table.

Expected Results:  
stay within it like Opera and IE.
