Hi all - we're working on a CSS2/3 based layout engine and have a few issues with the specs. The CSS2.1 table model states the following in section 17.5.3 for calculating the height of a table when height!=auto: "the table may thus be taller or shorter than the height of its rows." This doesn't seem to match behaviour in Opera, Moz and Safari - these all appear to stretch the height of a row so that the total height of the rows always equals the height of the table (as you'd intuitively expect, to be honest). Moreover, the phrase "Percentage heights on table cells, table rows, and table row groups compute to 'auto'" from the next paragraph also doesn't match the behaviour, at least not for a table-row. They're used as an indication of how to distribute the difference between a tables specified height and the minimum height required to contain all the rows. Are the correct layout rules detailed in an errata anywhere? Or have I got it completely wrong? I'd also appreciate it if anyone could point me towards an mbox archive of this list for the last few years, as I'd like to trawl through it to see if this sort of stuff has been coverered before. The web archives aren't exactly easily searchable.... Cheers...
