> The border color in IE is lighter (...)
Sylvain, I created your test and loaded it in IE 8. The borders' color is
lighter (light gray); what matters and what is reasonable, expected is
that they should be clearly visible, noticeable. Maybe the color should be
inherited.
I still do not understand why, in such test, the borders should collapse
(in any browser) if border-collapse: separate is the default browser CSS
rule according to CSS 2.1.
---------------
Why Microsoft/IE Team keeps closing repeatedly bug 409470 [2]?
If I define
<style type="text/css">
table {border-collapse: separate;}
</style>
and then specify
<table border="4" rules="all"> [3]
then I see no borders at all around each cells in IE 8 RTW and
Microsoft/IE Team keeps saying that this is by design, that the spec isn't
clear enough, that other browsers do the same, etc..
---------------
> if you want the separated border model with
@rules=all, you should set it explicitly in your stylesheet.
Giovanni, this is exactly and precisely what I did [3] 4 months ago with
IE 8 RC1 when filing bug 409470 [2]. And I was replied
"
We will revisit this when one of the following are met:
- The specifications clearly define how to act in this situation
(...)
