I am testing the <colgroup> tag on a 5 columns table, with a style attribute.
I can’t seem to make it work on firefox 3.6/chrome 5 tho, and this is when I started searching for the reference on w3c.
It seemed like my code was perfectly fine, but looking at the w3c editor I noticed not even that was working. Only IE8 seems to work correctly, opera 10.51 ignores the style tag but applies the align tag correctly, while ffox and chrome seems to ignore colgroup completely.
So what am I (and w3c) doing wrong? Was colgroup deprecated and I missed it?
Table cells are not descendants of the columns they are in (hierarchical data structures don’t represent 2 dimensional data very well).
