Re: border-before-width length-conditional
Ah yes, that makes sense. Thanks a lot Vincent. I didn't think about that.

Re: border-before-width length-conditional
Jeremias Maerki a écrit : Am I right that for a table-cell in collapsing border model the conditional part of a (ex. in border-before-width) has no effect (i.e. is ignored)? I would answer no, actually not exactly. If I understand the spec correctly, the conditional part has an effect only if the generated area "begins" an ancestor reference area. Let's take the example of border-before. If there is a cell before the current cell we don't care about the conditionality: we just have to chose between this border, the border-after of the preceding cell, and the border-after and border-before of the containing table-rows. Now if the table has to be broken at the end of a page and the current cell begins a new page (and no border is specified for the table-row), in this case the conditionality has to be taken in consideration. Because the cell would be a leading edge in the normal-flow-reference-area of the page, as defined at the end of section 4.2.5, Stacking Constraints. Does it answer your question? I may have missed something, I have not carefully studied this aspect of the spec nor the border-collapsing model. Hope this helps, Vincent
Re: border-before-width length-conditional
Then, I'm wondering how to handle the conditional part (7.7.9) in this case because I don't have a clue and it seems not to go well with the collapsing nature of these borders as well as the rules 1-5 in 6.7.10 for border-collapse="collapse". Also, I don't think "the associated edge is (can be) a leading edge in a reference area from this (table-cell, table-row, table-body) formatting object". H.

That doesn't sound right. I just did a cursory review of the standard and can't find any support for that. However, the standard has a way of humbling me from time to time, so I may have missed it.
