Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 193657

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Licinio Alves]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

Often Firefox fails to render style="..." for tags if braces are used, IE
renders it properly with or without the use of braces.

e.g. this first example doesn't apply the syle properly but the second group of
code does, only difference is use of braces in <ul style="{...}">, which is allowed.

Curly brace delimeters should not be used in inline style as per the html spec:
