| This is a table colspan counting problem (IMHO). |
| The oversize <TABLE> has two rows: one has *two* <TD> |
| "requesting" total of 3 columns to span; second row has *one* <TD> |
| "requesting" total of 3 columns to span. In other words, it's asking |
| for one more column than the max number of 'real' elements in a row. |
| |
| Here's the simple case (first one shows the problem; the other adjusts the |
| colspan values and it works) (Dec 19 Nightly Win 95): All the elements in |
| the two tables below are width=auto (i.e., no width attribute specified). |
| </p><br> |
| |
| <TABLE CELLPADDING="3" CELLSPACING="0" border="1"> |
| <TR> |
| <TD colspan="2"><P><b>This is colspan=2</b></P></TD> |
| <TD>Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah</TD> |
| </TR> |
| <TR> |
| <TD colspan="3"> |
| <p><b>This is colspan=3</b> blah blah blah blah blah |
| --- why doesn't this cell span the table (5.0 win95 jun17)? |
| </p> |
| </TD> |
| </TR> |
| </TABLE> |
| <br><br> |
| <TABLE CELLPADDING="3" CELLSPACING="0" border="1"> |
| <TR> |
| <TD colspan="1"><P><b>This is colspan=1</b></P></TD> |
| <TD>Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah</TD> |
| </TR> |
| <TR> |
| <TD colspan="2"> |
| <p><b>This is colspan=2</b> blah blah blah blah blah |
| --- this cell spans the table correctly. |
| </p> |
| </TD> |
| </TR> |
| </TABLE> |

| |
| Here's the test case from bug #2645. |
| </p><p> |
| This test case (below) is derived from home.netscape.com (although |
| not much is left). [This was the table structure for "Autos ... Local |
| ..." and the right-hand column ("ABCNews.com..."); added an extra column |
| to differentiate this example a bit more from the one above]. |
| </p><p> |
| The basic problem is "competing colspan requests". The table has two rows, |
| both of which have COLSPAN requests. They are both asking for one more column |
| than the max number of 'real' elements in either row (i.e., both ask for total |
| of 5 but the maximum number of TD in either row is 4). This seems to confuse the |
| algorithm. ;) (Note: all the column elements in these two tables are width=fixed |
| except the TD with colspan=(4|3)). |

| <TR> |
| <td width=80>x</td> |
| <TD COLSPAN=4 BGCOLOR="#99cccc"> blue (colspan=4) --- doesn't span (5.0 win95 jun17)</TD> |
| </TR></TABLE> |
| <br><p> |
| Here's the same table but the 'colspan' values have been normalized. |
