Et bang ! J'ai encore du mal à y croire. Mais fin Mai, je devrais aussi assurer le show. Me voici orateur à Sud Web, la plus grande conférence technique du secteur au sud de Paris. Un festival de rock stars du web jouant de vertigineux solos de...

The point with bug 915 is quite simple in my opinion.
Firefox (up to 3.5.2) doesn't implement a part of the standard (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct...) and a useful one. This is not a bug. Is a hole in the implementation.
(I'll skip the discussions on why the <COL> tag has been introduced.)
As a consequence, the usefulness of the <COL> tag is so limited that it makes little sense to use it (only the width property works so far).
Everyone says you can use CSS, Javascript and a number of other workarounds.
All of them end up by moving the column level definitions away from the <THEAD> section (where they should belong to and where an application would generate them) to somewhere else. This defeats all efforts done to make HTML as smart and useful as possible.
But these are just my opinions

David, your words are very wise about reporting bugs and energy that might be used to solve them.

Does this little paragraph in the HTML specification and in the CSS one about text-alignment in tables should require some peoplepower to solve it ? My thoughts (in French upper in this page) : in 1998 we needed to convert drastically webdesigners to tableless code. In 2003, little were converted. But in 2009, very few make table design like in the prehistoric times of the WWW, and we need more features and strict standard respect to improve our web-applications. Character-alignment in tables is really useful for commerce-related application, intranets, and others data related presentations.

I hope someone will fix #915 and #2212. I do some business-related web applications, and not being able to align comas (or points, for english-readers) is a design and comfort issue.
But it will make those apps more professional on Fx than MSIE.

character alignment is not depreciated, still in XHTML and CSS standards.

So please, can a browser fix this ? Will Opera, Safari, or ... MSIE solve it before ? I hope MoFo will keep its leadership in standard-repects.

Je suis désolé d'avoir sali ce billet en l'ouvrant avec IE7, mais effectivement sur IE, je n'ai vu aucun problème. Alors que FF bugge... Je vais de ce pas voter pour la résolution.

Après tests, cela ne marche ni dans Firefox 3.0, ni dans Konqueror 3.5 (KHTML), ni dans Konqueror 4.1 (WebKit), ni dans Opera 9.6
Si ça marche dans MSIE, c'est la grosse loose
