To: mozilla-layout@mozilla.org From: Simon Montagu <simon@softel.co.il> Newsgroups: netscape.public.mozilla.layout Subject: Alignment of table headers and captions Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2000 12:17:13 +0200 Organization: Softel Software Technologies Message-ID: <38858F29.FE708A48@softel.co.il> I am working in the IBM Bidi for mozilla project, and have been testing table alignment issues. The attachment shows two copies of a table, one with dir=ltr and the other with dir=rtl. Notice that the cells in the rtl table are left aligned -- OK, that's bug #1802. But the column headers and caption are aligned right, instead of center. If I use a stylesheet with hd {text-align: left;} caption {text-align: left;} they are aligned left on both tables, but text-align: center; is ignored by the rtl table. Simon

Changing component
blocks are probably to blame for this. The following doesn't center align the text either. Reassigning to Kipp's bug list. <body dir=rtl> <div style="border: 1px solid black; text-align:center">foo</div> </body>

This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer working on this is over-burdened. If you feel this is an error, that you or another known resource will be working on this bug,or if it blocks your work in some way -- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration. Please note: the folks who are interested in bidi may fix this as part of their work. If so, we would be happy to fold that change back into the main branch, assuming it's safe, low impact, etc. We'll deal with that when and if the time comes.

I wounder if this is fixed by the nsLineLayout.cpp changes in the IBMBIDI patch on bug 62777?

I today's build, the headers of the tables are centered. I guess this was fixed during the Bidi landing.
This appears to be fixed and working with the testcase attached.
