Bug 92054 – inline-table wrapper should be generated for display: inline element only

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tables

[Julien Chaffraix]

This is a follow-up of bug 15365. I misread the specification and allowed any inline formatting context to generate an inline-table wrapper.

CSS 2.1 just takes the display into account: "If C's parent is an 'inline' box, then T must be an 'inline-table' box; otherwise it must be a 'table' box." (C is a proper table child)

Patch forthcoming.

Is this display table ? in this expected testcase, we can even directly use the table and td tags.

It's not really a regression. The code was actually working due to another bug: we didn't check for table parts in RenderBlock::addChildIgnoringContinuation and thus would wrap table parts in an anonymous block, leading to the right behavior. This was confusing which is why I sided with fixing our check to match what the spec said.

Good catch, it should be display: table or the test case is void.

Using <td> or <table> is a not-so-great-an-idea due to the UA style sheet and the different behaviors between CSS and HTML tables. It's better to stick with CSS tables for consistency.
