[Bug 215712] [NEW] error in rendering css table styling

Fri Apr 11 14:06:24 UTC 2008

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

The presence of an empty "thead" tag in a table causes the table borders to disappear with using style 
	border-collapse: collapse;
for  the table.

This can be reproduced when using either either a closed single "thead"
tag, or using two tags (open and close) enclosing no row and column
information.

attached is a small html page with information in the thead tag. 
Simply remove the contents of the "thead" tag to reproduce the problem. 
On removing the contents of the thread, the border style will disappear. 

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">

#patient_data {
	position: relative;	
	left: 40pt;	
	top: 40pt;
	width: 90%;
}

table.orio_t
{	
	border-collapse: collapse;
	border-width: 1px;
	border-style: solid;
	border-color: #99a7b1;
	font-size: 10pt;		
}

table.orio_t td {
	border-width: 1px;
	border-style: solid;
	border-color: #99a7b1;
}

</style>
</head>
<body>
<table id="pd_table" class="orio_t">
<colgroup span="2">
<col id="pd_table_left"/>
<col id="pd_table_right"/>
</colgroup>
<!-- remove the contents of the thead tag below to reproduce the problem -->
<thead><tr><th>Title</th><th>Artist</th>
</tr></thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="cell_heading">hello</td>
<td class="cell_heading">goodbye</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>joe</td>
<td>blo</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tfoot/>
</table>

</body>
</html>
