48589 - doesn't honor style display:inline

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 18217

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect, P3)

Description

[thomasc]

we have a need to place multiple tables in a row.
to do this, the style sheet display element should be set to 'inline'
this appears to not change the layout when using mozilla however
the other browsers we've tested it does work.
<table
    style="display:inline">

 <input type=image src=....
</table>
repeat above a few times and then bring page up..
they go down as if display is still set to 'block'

Its worse than in the original description under WinNT only the third table is
displayed. NN4.6 draws all tables in a row, and there is one browser that does
the job correctly (IE5)

Shouldn't the correct CSS be

'display:inline-table'?

Anyway, this sounds like a dupe to 18217.
