Re: found vertical-align bug

Hi Rolf,

This may be related with bug 8438 [1].

Sorry but stating that it's OK in Internet Explorer is not enough, on
the contrary: IE has had quirky, non standard behavior since it was
release so, although things seem to be improving (specially since the
launch of version 8), it still can't be called a standard rendering
engine IMHO. Best will be attempting with a couple more browsers such
as Firefox, Chrome (or Safari, as both use the same rendering engine)
and Opera. Typically, if the behavior is consistent in all browsers
then probably this will be a bug in Amaya; if it's not consistent,
often it's a content issue or (rarely) an underspecified behavior in
the applicable spec. (HTML/CSS/etc.).

It probably depends on where are you applying the CSS property (in
which element) and where is the element located in the document's
hierarchy. To clear this up, I'd invite you to create a small test
case [2] and attach it (publish it somewhere and paste a link) in a
reply.


> Please fix ASAP.

I'm not part of the Amaya team so I'm not able to comment on that. On
the other hand, if you have development skills (C/C++) I'd invite you
to take a look at Amaya's source code and suggest a fix. ;-)
