Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect, P2)

Description

[Christine Hoffman]

Using 3/1 build on Win 95, Win NT, Win 98, Linux and Mac 8.5 (2/26 build).

Open URL. TABLE attribute BORDER is assigned the color red.

Expected results: Border should be red.
Actual results: Text inside is red; border is not.

Based on your description (although I can't see the page), I think this bug is
invalid.  A selector such as

TABLE[BORDER]

selects any TABLE element that has the attribute BORDER, and applies styles to
that TABLE element.  Thus TABLE[BORDER] { color: red; } should make the text
red in any TABLE that has the BORDER attribute set.  TABLE[BORDER] { border-
color: red; } should make the border red.

If my interpretation of what you have on the test page is correct, then this
should probably be resolved as invalid.  My own tests have not found any bugs
with attribute selectors.  See

(OK... not perfect.  I just made the test harder.  But I'll file a new bug on
that...)
