From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0rc3) Gecko/20020523 BuildID: 2002052309 (1.0rc3) Following the W3C HTML 4.01 specifications: (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/tables.html#edef-COLGROUP) "The COL element allows authors to share attributes among several columns without implying any structural grouping." Following the W3C CSS 2 specifications: (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/tables.html#table-layers) "For the purposes of finding the background of each table cell, the different table elements may be thought of as being on six superimposed layers. The background set on an element in one of the layers will only be visible if the layers above it have a transparent background." So, COL and COLGROUP background-color styles should be rendered if table cells are transparent (default), but Mozilla seems to ignore COL and COLGROUP styles... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Go to the URL (http://www.webforma.it/mozilla/colgroup-bgcolor-bug.html) Actual Results: All table columns have not a background color. Expected Results: The left column should have a blue background and the middle one a red background. Tested with Mozilla 1.0rc3/Linux and Mozilla 0.9.9/Windows NT. It works with IE 5.5/Windows NT and IE 5.1/MacOS. It doesn't work in Opera 6.01/Linux. The page is XHTML 1.0 strict compliant.
I also see this on buildID 2002060208 on Win2KSP2
Same as bug 4510.
Yep this is a duplicate of bug 4510. You can also see a similar column discussion with the ol' bug 915. That bug has been pretty much the spot where all discussion about table columns has taken place. Marking. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 4510 ***
