Hallo! a) screen shot will follow b) testcase will follow Please take a look at http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Wikivar&oldid=1187033&action=render in Firefox and in Internet Explorer. http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/ Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.6a1 displays empty cells correctly This is not the case with Internat Explorer: <td></td> does not show the border of the cells. *request* One idea to fix this might be render empty cells as <td> </td> or as <td> </td>. best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
Created attachment 1301 [details] screen shot for bug 04589
Created attachment 1302 [details] test case for bug 04589 This test case fails both in Internet Explorer *and* in Firefox. http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/ Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.6a1
*note* The same url is used / handeled at Bug 4590: (&oldid=nnnn)&action=render generates wrong / invalid url
This is normal behavior of all browsers since HTML 3 introduced tables.
Thanks Brion for mentioning the specification. If it does not make sense to generate <td></td> it should be a feature / an enhancement of MediaWiki *not* to generate such code. The problem is that contributors using Firefox would not see the error. We can not expect that contributors double check their edits with other browsers. REOPENing bug and changing "Severity" to enhancement. best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
changing summary from Fix for Internet Exporer when displaying emty cells in a table to Do not generate <td></td> changing the url to http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Wikivar&oldid=1187533#custom_namespaces *notes* 1) the new url (which does *not* include &action=render) renders properly in FF nigthly trink but does not render properly with IE 2) the old url (which *includes* &action=render) http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Wikivar&oldid=1187033&action=render renders the same both in FF and IE Will investigate at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ about this issue.
Why did you reopen this? As I already explained, this is the *NORMAL* rendering of empty table cells on most browsers traditionally. action=render doesn't include custom style sheets, so that normal default rendering is used. There's no bug here. Resolving INVALID.
