Re: [WSG] Firefox bug on CSS white-space property
To look at the issue laterally, if your fixed-width table requires thatlong links wrap, why invoke the no-wrap rule at all? Obviously this snippet gives no clue as to the broader context, but what if you leave white-space at its default setting of normal - by omitting it? The context is: an HTML newsletter (designed for looking good at e-mail clients) that's also posted in Craigslist. The CSS rule is applied by craigslist.css, so there is no-way I can avoid that. Also, I can't apply inline styling to a elements because they are totally stripped out by CL. That's why I'm applying them to parent and child of the a elements (CL doesn't strip them). That's why i'm using nasty mark-up. Since you applied the white-space: normal to a span element which is not a block-level element it is ignored. By changing the span to a div *or* adding display:block to the span's style, you will get the effect you were expecting. Ok. Thanks for that one, Kepler! It worked fine. And yes that is the expected behaviour. 'Width' on table and td/th is more like 'min-width' (idem dito for 'height'). Thanks for that one, Philippe.

RE: [WSG] Firefox bug on CSS white-space property
Hi, I dont think it is a bug. First of all you are not overriding the white-space property buy assigning it to child elements or parent elements. You just create a conflict. Then precedence takes affect. According to the CSS2 spec: 'white-space' Value: normal | pre | nowrap | inherit Initial: normal Applies to: block-level elements Inherited: yes Percentages: N/A Media: visual Since you applied the white-space: normal to a span element which is not a block-level element it is ignored. By changing the span to a div *or* adding display:block to the spans style, you will get the effect you were expecting.

First: sorry, I'm double posting this on two lists so anyone can confirm this (before reporting to Mozilla). The issue is simple (you will see it better by just creating a testing html with the snippet below): - there is a white-space:nowrap property (in the stylesheet) applied to the a element . - then, that rule is override with some inline styling applied (white-space:normal) on two elements: one that wraps the a elements and one that is wrapped by the a element (that also contains the text). - the text inside the a elements is a very very very long link. - and the link is inside a table with a fixed with. - every tested browser (but FF) honors both the width of the table and the white-space:normal applied to both the parent and children of the a elements. - but Firefox just expands the table width and doesn't break the link in multiple lines as expected. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

You just create a conflict. Then precedence takes affect. According
to the
CSS2 spec:
'white-space'
Value: normal | pre | nowrap | inherit
Initial: normal
Applies to: block-level elements
Inherited: yes
Percentages: N/A
Media: visual
Since you applied the “white-space: normal” to a span element
which is not
a block-level element it is ignored. By changing the span to a
div *or*
adding “display:block” to the span’s style, you will get the effect
you were
expecting.
But in the testcase, the white-space property is applied to the a
(in the head: a {white-pace:nowrap})
Firefox 2.0.0.x should _ignore_ that as well.
Anyway, my Gecko trunk builds (Minefield 20070828 and Camino trunk
build) correctly wrap the text the same way Safari and WebKit wrap
the text (ignore the white-pace:nowrap).
So Firefox 3.0 will display correctly.
And if the link text were to long for the space allowed by the table
(e.g. a very very long word), the table should expand, unless the
table has 'table-layout: fixed' specified.

The table should expand even though he specified width=175? I learn something new every day.
