306699 - Table incorrecly sized when all rows have display:none

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 272370

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Terry Ellison]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.9) Gecko/20050711 Firefox/1.0.5

When using DHTML to expose a single row in a table, the tables size grows 
linearly with row switches.  This behaviour is not seen in MSIE.  I've 
attached a test case.  Table resizing (trimming) seems to work except when 
number of rows displayed goes from 1 to 0, which is a bit dire when you are 
toggling 0 to 1 rows displayed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run test case an follow instructions
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Tables grows, exciting various other previously reported errors.

Expected Results:  
It should toggle within given bounds

I have adopted a workaround of using <div> sections within a single table 
cell, and toggling the style.display property on this element instead.  This 
works as expected on both Mozilla and MSIE.

By the way, ignore the fact that I logged this report using MSIE.  CTOs have 
to comply with company standards when going out through company firewalls :)

Bug 272370 sounds like a good one.
