Details

A table has no cellspacing, no border, and a cellpadding of x. It has three cells (on the same row or column, it doesn't matter). The left and right cells have a certain background color and the middle empty cell (<TD></TD>) doesn't (so I can see the space between the cells). I found that the space between the left and right cells is 2x + 4. If the cellpadding is 5, the space between the cells will be 14; if 7, then 18, etc. Of course, it doesn't have to be three cells, that was just the small example. The above URL is a large scale example: Empty cells are 12 pixels tall/wide, cellpadding is 4.

I recently fixed a similar bug that should remove the extra space reported here. I did notice that Nav4.5 and IE5 handle things slightly differently in some cases. I also added a compatibility mode check, so if you don't get the expected behavior try setting the compatibility mode to Standard rather than NavQuirks.

Created a small doc to test: <html> <head> <title>4308</title> <style="text/css"> .one { background-color: lime } .two { background-color: red } </style> <body> <table cellspacing=0 border=0 cellpadding=20> <td class="one"></td> <td></td> <td class="two"></td> </table> </body> </html> Using 5/20 build, verified bug fixed.
