Bug 17767 – frameborder="no" on frameset is ignored if border attribute set

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Layout and Rendering

[Gavin Sherlock]

Everything on the page is shifted down, with the main content of the page being in a tiny frame on the bottom right.  Renders correctly in Firefox.  Tested with r30939 and release Safari on 10.5.2.  Have not tested if it is a regression from Safari 2.

[Marcus]

The page has two framesets with these attributes:
framespacing="0" frameborder="NO" border="800"

IE 7 prefers framespacing="0" over border="800" and draws no border between the frames.
Safari 3.1 ignores the framespacing attribute and draws a 800-pixel wide border.
Firefox 3 also ignores the framespacing attribute but interprets frameborder="NO" to signify that no border should be drawn.

How good is our coverage of |frameborder| and |border|? I had a hard time understanding why you wouldn't break any case: checking |m_frameborder| would normally be dependent on the attribute ordering but here works because it defaults to true. If something changes, some of cases will break which why I would like you to point out or provide more coverage for those.

This should go into the "if (m_frameborder)".

I would probably use a dumpAsText test instead.  It's slightly easier to maintain than a reftest.  Also, for dumpAsText or reftests, I would include the description text in the generated output.  It might also be nice to add tests for frameborder={0,1,yes}.

[Tony Chang]

Ah, I didn't realize order matters.  Seems like we need more test cases!

So I should dump the borders using getComputedStyle?

Yeah it works because the default is true as required by IE compatibility behavior. I'll add more tests since this might not be obvious.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.  Maybe that doesn't work for framesets or frames?  You could also get the clientWidth of the frames and make sure they're the right size.

They logically have the same effect but that's more nesting. Is there a reason?

I don't see what the issue with more nesting is. With the new logic, we don't need to run this check if m_frameborder is false (in which case m_border will be false anyway).

Also this description should be dumped in the output if it doesn't make your test platform dependent (which is the case for ref-tests and dumpAsText). I also advise to add the bug title and number but other reviewers have other opinions on that. That makes tests whose output are easier to read and maintain.

It turns out there was more brokeness in there like frameborder actually being parsed to an int making frameborder=yes the same as frameborder=no.

I've done a bunch of fix up on the parsing and handling of inheritance and added lots of tests.

I think this comment is confusing (it's not obvious we're talking about m_border). I would just remove it.
