Bug 47828 – style.border color comparison only returns true if the color is in rgb(r, g, b) format

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Component: CSS

This bug can be observed in Origyn Web Browser and Google Chrome on linux.

Open any web page. I'll use "http://www.google.co.uk/".

Open javascript console.

>document.getElementById('hplogo').style.border = '1px solid #d3c7a4'
>"1px solid #d3c7a4"
>document.getElementById('hplogo').style.border == '1px solid #d3c7a4'
>false
>document.getElementById('hplogo').style.border == '1px solid rgb(211, 199, 164)'
>true

if "#" format is used for style.border comparison, the comparison always fails. In firefox and opera both "#" format and rgb format works fine.

I don't think they work properly for '#' format on FF and Opera too. 
The results are same as below in FF and Opera.

document.getElementById('hplogo').style.border == '1px solid #d3c7a4'
false

Not sure how '#' format comparison should work though.
