52050 - <td>,<th> and <col> do not honour mm width's

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

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

Description

[Bernd]

The table code seems to ignore any style information given in absolute units for 
instance mm. The attached testcase demonstrates that for <h2> tags absolute 
units are honoured, while the table width ignores this. Needless to say that IE5 
renders the testcase correct. The  absolute units are described in CSS1 sect. 
6.1.

well, it seems to work for <table>, just not for <td>. Does it work to give
the table cell widths in other units, such as ems or pixels?

Changing summary, as only the mm width's are affected. It hits only the width,
if one gives the height in mm everything is OK.

Comment 5

[Christine Hoffman]

Confirming this bug. Width on <td> using 'mm' unit doesn't work correctly. 

Comment 6

[Bernd Mielke]

Thsi bug is a dupe. The problem is: between the 100 and the mm is a blank.

Test case is invalid.  CSS lengths consist of a number and a unit, only.  No
space between them is permitted.  (We allow the space in quirks mode.)

Source code problem not ours. Marking as verified.

Removing testcase keyword to remove this bug from the valid testcase radar.
