309253 - colgroup tag does not work with certain style

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 915

(Firefox :: General, defect)

In the given example, the colgroup style should make the text red, but it
doesn't do anything.  I only got style="width:#%;" to work with the colgroup tag
so far.  "text-align", "color", and "border" don't work.  Within the <colgroup>
tag, align doesn't work either.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
It should do what the CSS standard says it should do.  Basically, the <colgroup>
tag would be the same as formatting all of the <td> individually.

Indeed, it should do what the CSS standard says, and in
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html#q4 it says that border, background,
width, and visibility are what applies to columns (and that border may not work
the way you expect). That only leaves the align attribute, which is bug 915.
