439074 - Table col does not honor relative length

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 386814

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Daniel Sim]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052912 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052912 Firefox/3.0

A (W3C definition) "relative length" of, say, 2* in a col element's width attribute is not honoured. It is resolved to its integer value, e.g.

2* -> 2
3* -> 3

This can be observed from the DOM Inspector, and from the horribly wrong rendering.

Only * works.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See attached file. Column widths should be in the ratio 1:2:3. They are in the ratio 1:1:1

See bug 386814 comment 2

By the way, Opera 9.5 and WebKit nightly still don't implement it.
