62240 - Error on cell spacing in strict mode

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 68998

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

Description

[Juergen Dufner]

From Bugzilla Helper German:

proposed Product: Browser
proposed Component: HTMLTables

User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14-5.0 i586)
BuildID:    2000100722

Auf Seite http://www.jdufner.de/java/performance/index.html soll die Tabelle so
dargestellt werden, dass zwischen jeder Zelle eine schwarze Linie in der Breite
eines Pixels ist. Aber bei mir sind nur ein paar (nicht alle) horizontale Linien
da und keine vertikalen Linien.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Einfach Seite anschauen und schon wird's klar.
2.
3.

Expected Results:  Zwischen jeder Zelle eine schwarze Linie in der Breite eines
Pixels anzeigen (Netscape 4.7 macht's richtig.)

<!-- outer table for black borders -->
<table align="center" bgcolor="#000000" border="0" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="0"><tr><td>
<!-- inner table for data -->
<table border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="5">
<tr bgcolor="#ffffff">
  <td>&nbsp;</td>
  <td colspan="6" align="center">number of objects</td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#ffffff">
  <td rowspan="6" align="center">number of iterations</td>
  <td>&nbsp;</td>
  <td align="center">10</td>
  <td align="center">100</td>
  <td align="center">1000</td>
  <td align="center">10000</td>
  <td align="center">100000</td>
</tr>
<tr bgcolor="#ffffff">
  <td align="right">10</td>
  <td align="center">&nbsp;</td>
  <td align="center">&nbsp;</td>
  <td align="center">30 / 16 = 1.875<br>
                     30 / 17 = 1.765<br>
                     30 / 17 = 1.765<br>
                     80.2%</td>
  <td align="center">356 / 179 = 1.989<br>
                     357 / 180 = 1.983<br>
                     357 / 180 = 1.983<br>
                     98.5%</td>
  <td align="center">4076 / 1820 = 2.24<br>
                     4056 / 1816 = 2.233<br>
                     4056 / 1815 = 2.235<br>
                     127.43%</td>

Hallo, Juergen,

Bei mir sind alle horizontale linien richtig!
Und eine frage Juergen, wie alt bist du?
Hier spricht man normal kein Deutch aber klar.
Und das problem ist schon fertig und gefixed.
Download dir einer der neue Mozilla version und probier dan nogmals.

Viel gluck,
HJ  (Oef, I did not use German for over 10 years at least in writing. Pffff.)

Der Grund, warum dieser Bug Report in deutscher Sprache verfaßt wurde, steht in
seiner ersten Zeile:
"From Bugzilla Helper German:" (siehe
http://www.kairo.at/mozilla/bugzilla-helper.html)

Daher auch die Komponente "Browser Localisations" - "German-Austria/de-AT" :)

Wir übersetzen deutsche Reports über allgemeine Bugs und assingnen sie dann in
die "richtigen" Komponenten :)

Also, ist das ein duplicate oder worksforme?

Well I guess, the appearence of this bug could depend of the mode in which 
Mozilla is, quirk or strict.
Jürgen, you might wnat to experiment with different <doctype... statements to 
see, if your table looks different.
Otherwise, you might want to assign the black background of the outer table to 
the <td> element instead of the whole <table> element, I think in the quirks 
mode, table backgrounds are not displayed in the cells.

Comment 5

[Robert Kaiser]

Hmm, as I see this, Mozilla does exactly what the HTML document tells it:
color the whole tyble row <tr> in white color, including the 1 px cellspacing
iside the row. So the only places the black color shines through is between the
<tr> tags, and that's exactly what happens.

So to get what you want, you have to leave out the bgcolor="#ffffff" part of
<tr> and insert it into every <td> (or use css for that).
Then only the table cells, not the table rows, will be colored white and the
black "background" table shines through every space between cells...

If that is right, this is no bug in Mozilla, only NS4.x didn't really do what
HTML document told it.
Marking this invalidd for that case, please reopen if I'm wrong.

marking verified, reporter, falls Du glaubst das ist ungerechtfertigt bitte 
wieder öffnen.

Comment 7

[Juergen Dufner]

In my oppinion there is a bug, but no as I thought. The bug depends on the font
of the tablecontent. I did make a testpage at
http://www.jdufner.de/tabletest.html with a inline CSS. If you comment line 12 (
td { font-family:sans-serif; } ), the page will showed right, but if you don't
comment line 12 you will miss some horizontal lines.

I think there is a further bug. Its a bug in 'rowspan'. As far as I know the
color of the first column must be white.

Comment 8

[Juergen Dufner]

I forgot: If I use Textsize >100% I will see all horizontal lines. So you have
to change your textsize.

Reassigning to HTMLTables

I don't know if this is of any help, but it works on a diferent browsers. You
need to change the summary field. Don't forget the change the OS field to all,
I'm using Windows NT and it's the same in NT. This bug seems related to
'rowspan' and 'colspan' table rendering, and not to table spacing!

We might even make a smaller testcase to narrow this problem. I will try this
for you, I will let you know a.s.a.p. when this is done!

Most friendly, HJ.
