SID-01162: Tables rendering funny in Firefox 4

With the upgrade to FF4, tables render funny -- in particular, some of them -- such as the attachement list --- have black cell borders. They're ok if done with HTML; may be something about the table plugin ?

Discussion and Answer

Could you attach a screenshot?

I have not installed FF 4 yet so I do not know how it looks like. For testing purposes you can see the three tables on this page: overview table on top, support form table below, and attachment table at bottom of page. Do they look funky?

So indeed, there are some issues with table border colors on FF 4.

Here's a workaround: use the table plugin and specify tablerules="all".

So at a minimum, include this directly before your table: %TABLE{ tablerules="all" }%

Is there any way to make the tablerules="all" the default? I don't really want to go round all our tables just to fix this issue.

This is now tracked in TWikibug:Item6779. It is also fixed in SVN trunk and TWiki-5.0 branch.

To fix your installation, edit your TWiki.TablePlugin and change tablerules="rows" to tablerules="all" in the TABLEATTRIBUTES setting.
