30985 - Display: block destroys table elements

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect, P3)

Description

[Matthew Brealey]

If display: block is specified on a table element, Mozilla, instead of either 
ignoring the declaration (as is permissible - CSS2 states that display may be 
ignored on table elements) or correctly rendering it, destroys the table. See 
the specified URL for test cases.

Changing component

confirming bug, but is this not style sheets?

There are still some bugs shown in this test page.  (It is technically a
duplicate of bug 2479, though, which is now marked fixed but really only mostly
fixed.)

However, this does not seem to occur if the same display types are used on DIVs.

Attachment: one simple testcase

Mark, here is another case where we should ignore the display inside a table 
element.

Comment 6

[karnaze (gone)]

Actually, since we support mapping non table elements to table elements, we 
should probably be consistent and allow this. This bug is then an anonymous 
frame construction problem.

This is fixed in my tree and I'll check it in today.

Using 7/13 build, testcase renders properly. Verified fixed.
