67883 - [RFE] better looking table borders please

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Tables, enhancement)

Description

[James Lariviere]

DESCRIPTION:

Table borders look odd (I would like to say s*#t).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

view screenshot (has IE5 & Mozilla winbuild 02-05-20 renderings) and the url for
a site I work on.

ACTUAL RESULTS:

It is like the cell borders alternate every other row.  It just looks weird.


EXPECTED RESULTS:

Cell borders should have a consistant rendering.
IE5 does a nice job for borders (see screenshot).

Marking NEW.

In the site's css file I added a few rules and it "fixed" the border problem. :-)

Here is what I'm using to get mozilla to render borders like normal instead of
this ugly bordering from the screenshot.

table[border="1"] {
	border-top-color: ThreeDLightShadow;
	border-right-color: ThreeDShadow;
	border-bottom-color: ThreeDShadow;
	border-left-color: ThreeDLightShadow;
	border-style: solid;
	}
table[border="1"] tbody tr td {
	border-top-color: ThreeDShadow;
	border-right-color: ThreeDLightShadow;
	border-bottom-color: ThreeDLightShadow;
	border-left-color: ThreeDShadow;
	border-style: solid;
	}

What the HELL is causing mozilla to produce this crappy bordering?

I have since changed the DTD for annuitiesnet.com (URL) to get mozilla to render
in strict mode.

I noticed that this border rendering problem exists in just quirks mode.

this works for me in quirk and strict mode. WORKSFORME.
