(Whiteboard: [TESTCASE])

The test case in the URL above contains a 3x3 table. The top and bottom rows should have fixed pixel heights and the middle row should have a height of 80%. Instead the middle row has no height (or virtually none anyway). As an aside, if I were to request a height of 100%, what should I see? IE3.0 seems to assign the cell a height of: <window height> - (<top row height> + <bottom row height>) In other words, it assigns the remainder of the window height to the row. Navigator 4.5 assigns the row a height equal to the window height, which implies that it takes the height attribute literally. IE's implementation is more useful, but Navigator's is more straighforward.

Looks like a table bug.

not yet implemented. No decision made on what "100%" means to a cell height.

chrisd -- can you attach the test case from the URL above (or can tcrowe). There is another M8 bug that sounds like a definite DUPL of this one (bug #6556 by gdavis@projectcool.com), but I can't be certain without seeing this one. Alternatively, could you mark #6556 as DUPL if you agree and copy the URL for Glenn's test case here.
Here's the HTML for the test page: <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> <head> <title>Untitled</title> </head> <body><table CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%" > <tr> <td WIDTH="160"><img SRC="corner.JPG" height=80 width=160></td> <td WIDTH="100%" BACKGROUND="160x80.JPG"></td> <td><img SRC="40x80.JPG" height=80 width=40></td> </tr> <tr> <td WIDTH="160" HEIGHT="80%" BACKGROUND="160x160.JPG"></td> <td COLSPAN="2" ROWSPAN="2"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><img SRC="160x40.JPG" height=40 width=160></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>

tcrowe: Thanks for posting the other test case. Comments from bug #6556: 'Table cell heights not being honored.' http://www.projectcool.com/~gdavis/moztest/tableresize.html "The URL points to a page that demonstrates and documents a problem in which explicit cell heights are being ignored." (one note: the test case from projectcool does not display the background images for some cells. This is apparently according to spec. (see bug #8113 for details)).
Moving to M9.
