I've done research on previous bugs which have claimed to close this (#4510, #68998, #91034 ?), but in today's (March 11, 2003) nightly binary, there is absolutely no way to tell (visually) that COLGROUP / COL is even being supported. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. No support for <COLGROUP ALIGN="center"> 2. No support for <COL STYLE="font-face: sans-serif"> 3. No support for <COLGROUP STYLE="background: pink"> (I'm not really expecting this one, but it remains an issue). Actual Results: Running against the W3C example table at then end of the HTML4.01 table spec indicates that mozilla's latest nightly is totally out of compliance with expected behaviour. Expected Results: Render it correctly? ;^) See also: http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/testcases/css/columnstyle.html for a mozilla testcase showing this breakage. Fix this, please! It's embarrasing that it doesn't work. Not quite Sev: Major because I'm guessing that COLGROUP is not a widely used attribute, but I want to use it for Neat Dynamic Table / JS effects, and it would really irritate me if it didn't work in Mozilla. See also: http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/testcases/css/columnstyle.html for a mozilla testcase showing this breakage.
1) is bug 915 2) there is no column style inheritance in CSS2 3) bug 4510 to verify that cols and colgroup work use width for cols <col width="1*"> <col width="2*"> <col width="3*"> should work
