Bug 10300 – colspan=0 doesn't work

• Resolution: CONFIGURATION CHANGED
• Component: Tables

[Ian 'Hixie' Hickson]

colspan=0 and rowspan=0 on cells should make them span the entire table. They don't work.

test case

Compare behavior of webkit vs. Firefox, IE, Opera or W3c standard.  This is an old bug inherited from khtml (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41063).

This is an old bug inheritted from khtml, where it also remains unfixed and mostly unacknowledged:

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41063

any update on this issue? found it is still in the current nightly build.

It is fixed in KHTML for two years.  I don't know whether both codebases are still similar enough so that this helps, though.

In addition to the test case attached, the bug can be seen in action on the example link here: http://csswizardry.com/2011/08/two-titillating-table-tips/

Safari, Chrome, and Firefox render this test the same way, so I believe any underlying compatibility bug has since been fixed.

@Brent - zero-rowspan-xxx tests still fail in STP168. Do we need to change title to rowspan since 'Column 0' mention both colspan and rowspan? Or should I open separate new bug?

Would you mind making a new bug? We can investigate this more specific symptom without making this thread too convoluted.
