https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18342 --- Comment #2 from Jim Michaels <jmichae3@yahoo.com> 2012-07-22 08:08:19 UTC --- border-collapse? I didn't know what that meant when I first saw it. my book didn't tell me. the problem is, this always intuitive, and finding out how to do this in the reverse direction when you know what you want to do on the web isn't easy. I didn't check recent documentation on w3c css tables (never thought of searching for those keywords before, for 20 years). for one thing, I don't know how to do all that shorthand stuff because I just don't use it often enough to justify it (or it's just not readable and I want readable CSS I can maintain 6 months later). I suppose you can close this bug, unless you want to take care of some of this stuff below: let's compare using joe average's code using 3 methods: http://Jesusnjim.com/common/table-plain.html http://Jesusnjim.com/common/table-styled.html http://Jesusnjim.com/common/table-classed.html I thought that using border="n" saved space, and it does, by 54-307 characters. if you are not doing captions, it saves space by 110-149 characters. I did have problems aligning the caption sides (which is supposed to be part of a table!) with the rows. caption in ff13 was larger than the rows. I assumed both would have the same width and that one would realign the other. also, for some reason, css that applies to table doesn't apply to the caption. maybe there is some reason for this? browser bugs? 3 browsers (ie8, ff13, opera12) incorrectly render the following page (just picking one, all 3 pages on these 3 browsers were equally bad): http://Jesusnjim.com/common/table-classed.html so if you have a browser test kit, you can add one of these pages to it. thanks... -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
