the height of the "td1" is 156px in QtLauncher, 60px in firefox and opera; <table height="320px" width="600px"> <tr> <td id="td1" align="center" height="120px" bgcolor="red"> <div id="demo" style="height:50%; background-color:blue"></div> </td> </tr> </table>

You set table height to 320px so the only cell in the table should have also 320px minus border-spacing, padding etc. As the result computed height of td is 312px. And it's true in all tested engines: Webkit, Gecko and Presto. Red background of cell indicates real height of td. You set height of descendant div as 50% so it's calculated based on the definition: "The percentage is calculated with respect to the height of the generated box's containing block." [http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#propdef-height]. Containing block for the div is td. So a computed height value for the div element should be 156px as it is in Webkit. Other browsers fail this case. The bug report is INVALID.
