BUG: When you split a cell in a table, the height of the rows that are not selected may also change, and some cells may have the wrong ROWSPAN attribute value (886347)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Internet ActiveX Controls 1.0
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer (Programming) 5.5
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer (Programming) 6.0

SYMPTOMS

In the DHTML Editing Component, when you use the ExecCommand function together with the DECMD_SPLITCELL command ID to split a cell in a table, the height of the rows that are not selected may also change. Additionally, the ROWSPAN attribute of the new cell is not applied logically to cells that would require the operation. The operation should cause the value of the ROWSPAN attribute for the other cells in the same column to increase.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
