TABLE Rendering Problem

Mon Aug 19 01:02:49 BST 2002

Hello,

With the current CVS, or rather one day old, I am encountering some table 
related rendering issues on sites such as www.konqueror.org.  This reminded 
me of an email exchange I recently had with Hadacek Nicolas regarding hist 
bug report, br# 45869.  In that exchange, he asked me to confirm whether a 
minimal and validated HTML page worked with the current CVS version worked or 
not and my test revealed it did not, and still does not.

Anyways, since I am uncertain whether this is related to the current table 
rendering problems I am experiencing, I wanted to mention it here rather than 
open yet another bug report on it.  Two minimal examples are included below. 
Thr first one validates as HTML 4.01 TRANSATIONAL document and the second one 
as STRICT.  Both reproduce the wrong result.  These are rendered correctly by 
Mozilla if you want to verify...

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transational//EN">
<HTML>

<HEAD>
  <TITLE>TABLE RENDERING PROBLEM</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
  <TABLE BORDER="1" WIDTH="100%">
    <TR>
      <TD WIDTH="100">test</TD>
      <TD>toto</TD>
    </TR>
  </TABLE>
</BODY>

</HTML>

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">

<HEAD>
  <TITLE>TABLE RENDERING PROBLEM</TITLE>
  <STYLE TYPE="text/css" MEDIA=screen>
    TABLE { width: 100%; }
    .smallcell { width: 100px; }
  </STYLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
  <TABLE BORDER="1">
    <TR>
      <TD CLASS="smallcell">test</TD>
      <TD>toto</TD>

  </TABLE>
</BODY>

</HTML>
