92672 - Mozilla supports table-layout: fixed but does it support it correctly?

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[ltskinol]

Mozilla 20010727703, Windows 98

To reproduce: browse to the page.

Expected: Blue table title and grey table contents should extend
past the right side of the screen, and be available via scroll bar.

Actual: No scrollbar, and whole table looks weird.

The reason ie4 shows the table so nicely is propably that it ignores the
style="table-layout:fixed" on a parent table. ie55 shows the table with most the
useful information clipped off, mozilla quirks mode overflows the first column
outside the parent table box, but drops the rest of the columns; mozilla
standards mode shows all columns, but the page gets otherwise broken.

Comment 5

[basic]

if Mozilla's handling of table-layout:fixed is correct then this goes to evangelism

sending to style, hoping they can clarify

Bleh.  Adding qawanted.

Comment 7

[Pierre Saslawsky]

Tuukka: Mozilla should certainly not drop the rest of the columnn.

I can't reproduce the problem with a recent build. Reassigned to HTMLTables to 
investigate potential problems with 'table-layout:fixed'.

http://browserwatch.internet.com/stats/ua-1.html seems to have been changed
since the bug was filed, as it renders nicely in both mozilla and ie55 now. So
as for the url this wfm.

I think our fixed-layout adheres to the standards, the url works, if somebody
comes up with a testcase showing that we are wrong, please reopen the bug.
