Description Robert Burns 2006-09-27 15:18:39 PDT 
When the visiblity property is set to collapsed for table columns WebKit renders it as if visibility is set to visible.

This is likely related to bug 8735, which deals with "visibility: collapse" on table rows being treated the same as "visibility: hidden".

Sample HTML showing "visibility:collapse" flaw for columns.

This document display a "telephone pad" arrangement of numbers. The CSS should cause the middle column to disappear, and does in Firefox, etc.

A fix to this bug would provide a lot of flexibility to web pages, without specifying a class for each table cell in a column that should be invisible. For example, auto-generated HTML pages with columns containing something like image links (which are useless when printed) could be hidden with CSS for print media.

This bug is still present in Safari 3 that ships with Leopard, as well as the latest nightly build (r29711).
