81661 - P tag does not enherit from SPAN tag.

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Dennis Haney]

CSS Diffinitions:

span.nauthelp{width:150;background-color:green;padding:3px;border:1px;}
p.nauthelp {font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica;font-size:10px;color:white}

Problem:

<span class=nauthelp><p class=nauthelp>Vælg et emne som dit arrangement skal
kunne findes under.</p></span>

The green background is only a minor block in the upper left corner instead of
covering the entire text.

<span class=nauthelp>xxxxxxxxxx<p class=nauthelp>Vælg et emne som dit
arrangement skal kunne findes under.</p></span>

The xxxxxxxxxx is now green as it should, rest is still not.


The error can be found on the help buttons on the specified page.

Summary should be corrected. There is no DIV tag involved here.

Ups sorry :( Corrected to SPAN tag...

well, the html dtd does not allow to put a P into a SPAN, does it ?-)
It could be acceptable, from a XML point of view, but SPAN is an inline and P is
a block (a real one, not an inline block).

Marking bug INVALID.
