Little help with Bug 316425
Aaron Larson
page), but I could not get the numeric values to get right aligned. I
reduced the issue to a sample .html file (attached). I thought the
class specified with a "col" tag would be used for all table cells in
that column. However, when I tried the example with Firefox 3.0.3 and
Konqueror 3.5.10 and 4.1.2, the columns are left aligned. I tried
looking through the w3w stylesheet specifications but I could not find
an explicit statement that classes would be inherited, although it
certainly makes sense they would.
I'm hoping someone more literate with .css and html can tell me if I'm
doing something wrong, or if this is a firefox bug.

Don't use or rely on the <col> tag, it pretty much just doesn't
work in any way you'd expect it to. Instead give the relevant <td>s a
class.

That was the conclusion I was coming to myself. Note that COL was
previously (and still is) used by Bugzilla's buglist.cgi/template
code. Should I submit a request to change the code to specify the
class on each TD?
BTW, I did verify that IE seems to handle the above case properly.
