Incorrect handling of disabled BUTTON elements

Permalink | Safari, iCab | 1 comments
Reported on 23 February 2006

Adding disabled attributes to <BUTTON> elements in Safari does not have the desired effect.

Disabled buttons with text content are not greyed out and still respond visually to clicks (albeit without generating any onclick events).

In <BUTTON> elements with image content, the addition of a disabled atribute has no effect whatsoever.

:first-letter bug in Mozilla Firefox

Permalink | Mozilla | 2 comments
Reported on 21 February 2006

In Mozilla Firefox 1.5 when you scroll the form so that it is off-screen at the top then scroll back on-screen the underscores on the first letter of each line sometimes do not re-appear again. When scrolling to the end of the form and backup again, and when the browser window is resized to a smal size it seems even more persistent. This bug is triggered by styling label:first-letter {text-decoration: underline}.

(ppknote: This bug is quite flighty, I myself saw it only the third time I tried the test page.)

Opera absolute<fixed Nested Positioning

Permalink | Opera | 1 comments
Reported on 17 February 2006

An absolute positioned element inside a fixed positioned element disappears after scrolling down one page height.

div#sidebar { position: fixed; top: 0; bottom: 0; }

div#disappearing { position: absolute; bottom: 0; }

ppknote: Opera 9 beta has a different bug, but this situation is still buggy. It doesn't recalculate the height of the fixed layer when the page is resized.

Reported on 15 February 2006

When Explorer encounters a tag with the style white-space:pre inside a table, it will only print the first line even though it renders properly in the browser.
