User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050702 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050702 I upgraded to Firefox 1.5 yesterday and am now getting this problem which has never occurred with previous versions. I have also reproduced the problem in the latest overnight build of both the Firefox and Mozilla browsers. By clicking the link on this page: https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/govt/testMenuBad.html you see that the cell containing the link dynamically shrinks down to the minumum cell width permissable for the table and whatsmore doesn't even then navigate to the link's href. The following page is exactly the same but this time the colspan has been removed and a 'dummy' <td> used in its place: https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/govt/testMenuGood.html This link then functions as expected. This is a huge problem as we have thousands of pages built this way on a corporate Intranet. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See above. Actual Results: See above. Expected Results: See above. Since this is a fundamental building block of earlier html used in thousands of pages here it's severity for us is above normal.
Summary: colspan causes <a> tags to collapse <td> to minimum cell width possible. → colspan causes <a> tags to collapse <td> to minimum cell width possible when clicked.
Adding 'nowrap' to the <td> containing the link stops the problem from happening.
