the layout strategy can now query the outer frame for the caption min width,
and use it to expand the table if necessary
did some related cleanup while I was in there.
table frames no longer assume they are n levels below the inner table frame
table frames no longer assume their child frames are always the expected type of
frame. Now they check the display type and use that as sufficient proof that the frame
is of the right type. This implies a heavy reliance on the frame construction code to do
the right thing and always stamp out the right kind of frame for a given display type.
from their respective InitalReflow() methods.
table-layout=fixed now completely skips pass1 reflow and doesn't require maxElementSize
information, saving a tremendous amount of time during initial reflow.
moved *IsSpannedInto and *HasSpanningCells into cellmap, giving us the oppurtunity
to easily cache results if we want. These methods are still accessed through nsTableFrame.
changed nsTableFrame::GetCellAt to nsTableFrame::GetCellFrameAt to make it more clear what
the method returns: a frame, not content.
nsHTMLAtoms.cpp,h added some HTML 4 strings for tables
nsHTMLParts.h added constructors for new table content classes
nsGenericHTMLElement.cpp,h added table frame creation, common table attribute parsing
nsHTMLTable*Element.cpp these are the new table content classes
nsHTMLContentSink.cpp enabled the new content and removed the old
nsHTMLStyleSheet.cpp fixed the table style optimizations to work with new content
nsTable*Frame.cpp these work with the new content
aFilter is useful for determining if a frame should output itself during
a List(). In any event, the children of the frame are always processed.
added nsIListFilter, an interface for any object that wants to act like a filter for frame dumps
added static NS_LAYOUT nsIListFilter * GetFilter(nsString *aFilterName);
currently, only TableListFilter implements nsIListFilter.
in response to List(...TableListFilter), the frame model is dumped in a way that is useful
for table layout regression testing. Currently this is controlled by command line switches on the viewer app.
* fixes sample6, yahoo resizing
* added BasicTableLayoutStrategy::ColIsSpecifiedAsMinimumWidth helper function,
which tells us if the given column has a width attribute that means "make me as small as possible"
* nsTableFrame methods now no longer use mCellMap directly, they ask for it from
GetCellMap which gets the cell map from the first-in-flow. Only the first-in-flow has a
cell map because the cellmap refers to the table as a single object, not to each table frame.
* Likewise, continuing table frames do not call BalanceColumnWidths or SetTableWidth
which are "global" operations. Responsibility for these lies with the first-in-flow.
for nonsense COLSPANs at the edge of a table. Fixed some bugs this uncovered
where the cell was being asked for its colspan attribute rather than the table
being asked for the cell's effective col span.
* fixed more margin code. we're inching towards correctness.
* the width contributed by a colspanning cell is now proportionately distributed to the columns based on the columns "effective width"
* added logic for handling illegal COLS attribute on a table (like COLS=4 in a 3-column table). See nsTableFrame::GetEffectiveCOLSAttribute()
* added logic for handling illegal COLSPAN attribute on a cell (like COLSPAN=4 in a 3-column table). See nsTableFrame::GetEffectiveColSpan(). This is wrong, and will get reworked soon.
* added the ability for cell width attributes to effect column width like Nav4.
this work exposed a few bugs and slow spots, which have been fixed
for the aol page, I added some additional backwards compatibility code
to proportionately distribute width when a fixed-width cell has colspans
