By setting 'border-collpase: collapse;' in the style of a table, and change the border-color by javascript. It will render wrong border-colors for the cells under it. Its looks like its only when a onmouseclick event is on the cell. It occurs only on the right border of the cells.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto my demonstration url
2. Click on the cell: R1C1 (Row: 1 Col: 1), but dont move youre mouse.
3. Look at the underlaying cells (Row 2 till 13 Col: 1)
4. Now move your mouse to R2C3. The color is still corrupted.
5. Now move to R4C8. You will se that in R3C1 & R4C1 the colors are right, but R5C1 till R13C1 is still corrupted.
Actual Results:

Expected Results:  
Only the border-color of R1C1 may change.

Firefox 2.0.0.1 (Build: 20061204) does it also...

I have found (probably) the same or a related problem with 2.0.0.6

I have created a simple test case to show the problem at

I've also found similar problems in Opera and Safari, however IE does render the page "correctly". The problem seems to be related to changing a style for a TD via the DOM while the table has border-collapse set.

This one is a dupe.
This seems to be a real mess in Gecko. Hope it'll improve someday.
