Firefox - "nobody's working on this..."

Tuesday, 17. January 2006, 08:14:45

I really hate this regression bug in Firefox 1.5. It will really hurt many of web designers which decide to code pages in standard and accessible way.
That is - Firefox 1.5 floating inside FIELDSET bug. You just can't make any floating element inside FIELDSET.

Till now "Nobody's working on this, feel free to take it".

Update: Somebody now finally working on this. Now I hope that fix will be ready until next FF update.
Update: Fixed in Firefox 2.0 Alpha 2. In Firefox 1.5 many CSS form layouts still broken.

New Firefox 1.5 has some CSS rendering regression bugs

firefox, CSS, bug, clear ...

Test this page in different browsers. ~~Seems than in this particular case Firefox 1.5 doesn't get clear:left on the DL elements.~~
Update: Ok. Clearing floats inside FIELDSET doesn't work in Firefox 1.5. This bug was known before Firefox 1.5 release. They just left it in a hurry because:

Even though it is a regression, the impact is minor we are very close to lockdown for rc2 so it looks like it is not going to make it.

I hate regressions in CSS!

Clearing Floats with Position Relative Bug in Opera 9 TP1

Thursday, 27. October 2005, 18:26:17

legend, float, overflow, bug ...

Just tested some of my intranet pages where I have fieldsets with applied CSS style overflow:hidden for clearing floating elements inside fieldset - and in Opera 9 TP1 it doesn't clear anything and do weired things.
Just one more thing to make it broken - add position:relative in addition to overflow:hidden.
This bug appears to be not connected to only fieldsets it also "works" with DIVs too.
I also create separate test page for it.
Also notice the missing top border on the legends for fieldsets, and weird position of header "DIVs".
This test page also shows bug fixes in Opera 9 related to margins (there should be no bottom margin under first fieldset and first div).
