Want width units preserved after dragging table/div borders

[bngobngo@…]

Hi.

Tested in ver 2.1.1 in FF, Ne and IE on XP.

In IE (TABLE):

If you have set a width of the table to be let say 50%.

If you now in design view mark the table and make it shorter/wider by dragging its right border then the width is changed to pixels.

I would prefer the width to use the same width unit as before you started to widen it by dragging.

In IE (DIV):

The width unit is the same after changing it's width by dragging. That is good.

But, if you set height to be "auto" and drag one of its borders to change the width then the height is set to a pixel unit. Would prefer the DIV to use same height unit as before dragging, and if "height:auto" is used then that should not be changed after dragging.

FF ( TABLE): Same as for IE. Changes percent to pixel after dragging to make wider. Would prefer the same with unit to be used after end of dragging.

FF (DIV): Not possible to drag the borders of a DIV.

Netscape behaves same as Firefox.

Hi!

As it is for the IE and FF2 Tables you are perfectly right.

As for the DIVs:

IE: You cannot drag the borders (See ticket #842). If you resize it sizes will be shown in percentage as they should.

FF2: You can drag the borders. If you resize it sizes will be shown in pixels.

If you now in design view mark the table and make it shorter/wider by dragging its right border then the width is changed to pixels.

But this is native browser behaviour. You don't need editor logic to reproduce that. I don't think this can be overwritten in any way.
