It seems this bug is still open. I just tried to use the same code as described
above. 
It works in IE, it works in Mozilla, but it doesn't work in Konqueror. 

May someone please reopen this bug? 

Thanks, Michael 

Sorry, I forgot something... 
 
Konqueror 3.1 / Debian 

OK, I'm reopening as I can reproduce as well, but one note on this: I am not
sure why this was 
closed since the info was lost during the bug system migration; could have been
a duplicate... 

URL to reproduce as still OPEN (tested with KDE 3.0.3 on RH 8 and 3.1.1 on
Gentoo): http://www.arnolddesign.ch/de/kontakt_email.php

I think we have globaly a problem with the rendering of Percentage Units in
Tables 
and sometimes for tables, too. 
Here was a side, too, where we don't render the table correctly, too. 
http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/CSS1/current/sec62.htm 
I thnk the table must be on this side width=100%!!

testcase

interesting, WHAT doesn't have the 100% here

testcase uses the css style= tag instead of plain old <table height="100%">
which is the reason for this bug.

I see this problem with or without CSS. I'm glad I found this bug report. I
thought I was going crazy.

Hi,

I tried with last kde release on a slackware, tables have the same problem with the same code.

Regards

This bug is now more than 3 years old. Congratulation to the KDE Team :-)

Replaced jonas@eisenstein.dk with fontana@netw.it due to bounces by reporter

Not sure if this is the same bug, but it's a similar tables issue at least.
Pricewatch.com does not render correctly, to mention a big one, and there are
other misc. sites where tables are screwed up!

*** Bug 43753 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I just stomped on this bug. If the nested table has style="height: 100%", the
sourounding table cell shrinks to the size of the nested table, regardless of
the height of the outer table or other cells.

This happens on both konqueror on SuSE 9.1 and Safari on OS X, so I suggest to
set the plattform to all since this seems to be a general KHTML issue.

proposed patch

The two diff files patches two khtml files.

The html_tableimpl.diff file introduces the height attribute for the <TD>
element to be managed;

The render_table.diff file introduces the lines that calculates the height of
the table if this element is inside a <TD>.

(From update of attachment 7442 [details])
The patch was created for the KDE3.3

The posted patch is empty.

I tried to open the file and everything was right. The file contains the diff
data.

the attachment contains only the filename

> the attachment contains only the filename 
 
No it doesn't... it contains a non-standard diff.
KWrite bug?

Repost of the diff files

I'm reposting the patch. In this case the file is a .tar.gz
It includes both diff files.
