36156 - left-aligned text in cells gets centered instead

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect, P3)

Description

Build ID 2000041716 M16
Seems all text that should be right-aligned in cells at above URL gets centered
instead.

LEFT aligned...dang..

Comment 2

hmm looked at the source: the text isn't explicitly left-aligned but all other
browsers displays it as left-aligned. There's a <DIV ALIGN="justify"> there -
perhaps a clue.

rickg checked in some stuff for DTD recognition.  Looks like this broke
something here: the doctype of this page is HTML 4.0 Transitional, but
apparently it gets parsed in standard mose (where <CENTER> menas text-align:
center, which inherits into the TABLE cells).  Confirming, and reassigning.

This isn't a parser bug. In the new world, the transitional DTD (without 
strict.dtd URI) is handled as a standard-mode document, meaning we throw out nav 
quirks. Removing the doctype (or using a doctype the enables quirks) is your 
anwser.

I'm forwarding the layout but to karnaze.

Which doctypes now trigger quirks mode? loose.dtd doesn't seem to.

well hooray - with build ID 2000-041908 it's business as usual - no unexpected
centered text on freshmeat.net. But is this a fix or a mishap?

Comment 7

[Richard Zach]

After some discussion in n.p.m.layout, transitional dtd gets processed in quirks
mode again.  So I'll mark this, hm, FIXED.

This was fixed in the next build, ages ago, and page still looks OK.
