71529 - Style does not effect the text in TD if it was set as a TR attribute

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 46480

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[Vladimir Ermakov]

In a table if you want to have a style affecting the whole row, you have to 
specify it for every cell. Setting style attribute of TR doesnt effect the cels.
Ex.
<TABLE>
<TR style="red">
<TD>Text</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

Text is not red. In IE it is red.

The second test case I added shows that the bug does not occur if the DOCTYPE
is declared....

The behavior is correct in Standard mode, wrong in Quirks mode. Tables are very
bad in Quirks mode. I think that the inheritance of the color is explicitly cut
off, by design, to be Nav. compatable.

I think that tis is WONTFIX. There are other bug arguing the merits of the table
quirks code, since IE and Nav differ on those quirks and IE is more promiment
nowadays.
