81381 - CSS2: :after, :before - no rendering with counter() function

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 3247

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Roland Unger]

From Bugzilla Helper:

BuildID:    2001050515

If you use CSS2 definition like h1:before {
   content: "Chapter " counter(chapter) ". "; }
nothing is rendered. If counter() is ommited
rendering is ok.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. h1:before {
      content: "Kapitel "; }
2.  h1:before {
      content: "Kapitel " counter(kapitel) ". ";
      counter-increment: kapitel; }

3. <h1>Title</h1>


Actual Results:  Title

Expected Results:  Kapitel 1. Titel

I think this is a duplicate of 3247, which covers "counters in generated 
content". The fact that "Kapitel" is not rendered is due to backwards-
compatibility rules.

This is indeeed a duplicate.  Counters are not working correctly yet, so support 
is turned off per the CSS forward compatibility rules.
