Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 258377

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.10) Gecko/20071115 Firefox/2.0.0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.10) Gecko/20071115 Firefox/2.0.0.10

For some reason, once the border-collapsible attribute is processed, modifying (or setting) border-widths produces no change in the rendered display.  I ran into this problem on my own site, and then reproduced it using someone else's tutorial on how CSS-Tables work (see attached url).

When I tried the same steps in IE, the border-widths rendered correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In the demo, set border-width = 0px for both table and td/th
2. Set border-collapsible to "collapse"
3. Try to change the border-widths back to 1px.  They don't change.

-or- 

1. Set border-collapsible to "collapse"
2. Try to change the border-widths to 0px.  They don't change.

Actual Results:  
the border widths did not change

Expected Results:  
the border widths should have changed

This works for me in the development versions. Could you download the beta (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html) and test that, and if it works, change the resolution to "WORKSFORME"?

I tried it in beta and still had the same problem.  The changing the order of setting border-width and border-collapsible should produce a commutative result, but it doesn't.

Thanks for reporting, but this is a dupe of Bug 258377. border-collapse is a sad mess in Gecko.
