Mozilla seems to treat the colspan="" attribute as colspan="0" in HTML tables.
As I understand it attr="" equals no attribute with name attr.

This bug makes tables that have the colspan attribute set to "" look weird.

The following sample HTML illustrates this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <head><title>Mozilla table bug</title></head>
  <body>
    <h1>&lt;td colspan=""&gt;</h1>
    <table>
      <tr>
        <td colspan="">Header 1</td>
        <td colspan="">Header 2</td>
        <td colspan="">Header 3</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td colspan="">Data 1</td>
        <td colspan="">Data 2</td>
        <td colspan="">Data 3</td>
      </tr>
    </table>
    <h1>&lt;td colspan="1"&gt;</h1>
    <table>
      <tr>
        <td colspan="1">Header 1</td>
	<td colspan="1">Header 2</td>
        <td colspan="1">Header 3</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td colspan="1">Data 1</td>
        <td colspan="1">Data 2</td>
        <td colspan="1">Data 3</td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </body>
</html>

I could reproduce the bug with 2000070208 Win98 and see the correct behaviour
with a debug build from 20000901 Win98. Marking the bug as WFM
