Build: Apprunner
Version: 2000012708
Platform: All
Expected results: The parser should ignore a doctype 4.01 element. The TD
alignment should apply to a nested table.
What I got: The TD alignment is working with a nested table. The table is left
aligned instead of center aligned.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Open the first test case in Apprunner. This test case includes table inside a
table. The nested table should be centered inside the first table. This test case
is using a DOCTYPE 4.0 Transitional element.
2) Open the second test case in Apprunner. This test case is identical except
that it is using DOCTYPE 4.01 Transitional element. The nested table is not
centered.

I found this problem on apple's home page so I not sure what other sites may
currently use DOCTYPE 4.01.
URL: http://www.apple.com
Why would you say that DOCTYPE 4.01 should be ignored? Currently, DOCTYPE 4.0x
is mapped to strict mode, which I think is correct.
The "Align" property, on TD, is not being applied to the inner TABLE, in STRICT
mode. Since the content-model looks correct I'm giving the bug to karnaze.

We run in quirks vs. non-quirks. Corner case. Putting on on PDT- radar for
beta1. Would not hold beta for this bug.
Putting DOCTYPE HTML 4.01 also causes major CSS troubles: <A
HREF="http://pages.infinit.net/dacmot/moztest/test.html">4.01</A> and <A
HREF="http://pages.infinit.net/dacmot/moztest/test2.html">4.0</A>.
It seems like the margin, padding and border-width attributes get totally ignored.

IMO, any doctypes public before final release should be on the compat-mode
list. However, that should really be discussed in bug 1312.

The 2nd attachment centers the table when doctype 4.0 is substituted. The table
code has no way of distinguishing between doctype 4.0 and 4.01 as far as I know.
It does distinguish between navQuirks mode and standard mode, but doctype 4.01
doesn't appear to set the mode to standard. Rick, do you know what is going on
here.

Chris, 4.01 does set the mode standard. I will create an attachment that would
trigger standrad mode ( <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN"> ).
