[CSS21] Make XHTML <body> magic just like HTML <body>

Summary [CSS21] Make XHTML <body> magic just like HTML <body>
Simon Pieters
Reported 2007-05-02 07:41:53 PDT
<body> is magic in HTML but not in XHTML, and there are bugs in some edge cases. (Note that this bug is invalid per the current spec, but the plan is to change the spec: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2007Apr/0196.html ) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run the test cases. 2. 3. Actual Results: 'background-color', 'background-image' and 'overflow' is not handled equivalently between HTML and XHTML, and there are some bugs in the edge cases as well. Expected Results: 'background-color', 'background-image' and 'overflow' should work the same in both HTML and XHTML when applied to <body>. Edge cases should be handled as what the current spec says should happen for HTML.

There are two isHTMLDocument background checks in RenderBox and then the overflow isHTMLDocument check is in FrameView I think. This was all done on purpose following the spec of course, but I suppose we could change it.

Apparently background behavior matches Firefox more or less, overflow behavior doesn't. We're following the curent spec more closely than anyone it seems.

I can confirm the bug. In my opinion we should change behavior to align other browsers since Gecko has the bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=379461 already fixed!

FWIW, Opera 9.5 treats HTML and XHTML the same here.

And for what it's worth, I'd like XHTML to be always non‐magical, just as every other XML format. There is a reason we have both, and it's not so that you can add slashes to the end of empty element tags. If you need magical behaviour, which only exists for legacy reasons, then you should be using HTML, not XML.
