Bug 18092 – table's text aligned on top instead of center because of rowspan

• Component: Tables
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[jasneet]

I Steps:
Go to 
http://fleurs.3suisses.fr/

II Issue:
Notice the alignment of the description of the featured item. In Safari, the text is immediately under the price whereas in FF, IE and Opera, it is centered in the section.

III Conclusion:
The misalignment is caused by the rowspan=4 defined within the table. There are technically only 3 rows so if I change the rowspan = 3, then Safari displays correctly.

IV Other browsers:
IE7: ok
FF3: ok
Opera9.24: ok

V Nightly tested: 31238

Rowspan height is not applied to last row when rowspan is more than 'rows remains below rowspan cell + 1'.

If row contains row span cell and it is last row of the table then rowspan height applied to last row of the table.

If row contains rowspan cell than it checks that is there any valid row present below this row, if not then rowapn height applied to this row.

Result of test cases are matching with IE and mozilla except some test cases (present in fast/table/Rowspan-value-more-than-number-of-rows-present.html) are not matching with mozilla but as per rowspan property, mozilla is not displaying proper in these cases.

Ultimately, I find this patch a little confusing right now. I would like to see another pass with clearer comments.

This description is very confusing. Please find a more clear way to say this.

> Source/WebCore/rendering/RenderTableSection.cpp:303
> +                    // than 'rows below rowspan cell + 1'

Just like I said in the Changelog, this description is very confusing. Please find a more clear way to say this.

> Source/WebCore/rendering/RenderTableSection.cpp:308
> +                        while (nextRowCell.cells.size() && nextRowCell.cells[0]->rowSpan() > 1 && nextRowCell.cells[0]->rowIndex() < (r + 1)) {

The code would be more clear if you added a comment. Based on your description in the bug, you are trying to deterring if there is a valid next row, correct? Please say something like that here.
