Internet Explorer Tables: Attribute colspan, rowspan, cellPadding and cellSpacing have no effect on table
100%
Description
This issue was first noticed when using XSLT to add a cell to a table similar to the following:
...
<td colspan="5" align="center">
<xsl:value-of select="The title"/>
</td>
The expected behaviour, and that seen in the other browsers, would be for the cell to span across the next 5 columns, instead the colspan attribute in Internet Explorer appeared to have no effect on the table cell, it was contained within a single column.
Online information and further tests show that colSpan must be used for this case in Internet Explorer, further tests show that the attributes rowSpan@, @cellSpacing and cellPadding are similarly affected - they must use lowerCamelCase to be recognized by IE. These camel-cased attributes are recognized by other browsers so they can be used as a workaround.
A fix for this will be included in the next release of Saxon-CE so that, for these cases, IE behaviour is consistent with the other major browsers.
