I would like to have the 'Standards compliance mode' renderer working the same way as the 'quirks' renderer for that matter!... I know it work in quirks mode without the doctype! but it's good manner to specify a doctype ... e.g. html validation... + it also works (even w doctype) if you specify a fixed width for the table element... but it's annoying (overconstrained... + has to be calculated) anyway it used to work in older version!... and its very basic stuff Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. compare previous html examples 2. 3. Actual Results: (with the doctype) the table is resized to fit browser window width ('eating' empty space in 1st cell) Expected Results: 1st cell has always 800 pixel, decreasing browser window width won't alter 1st cell width (an horizontal scroll bar will apear if browser width < table width)
This changed with bug 277232. This was a deliberate choice, so I'm duping this to bug 277232. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 277232 ***
