There actually IS one standard that I wish Firefox WOULD adhere to that IE
actually does adhere to.
For a while now, I have been complaining that FF's table caption styling
is broken and is improperly separated from the edge of the first row of
table cells. This occurs when the table top margin is set. The caption
IS part of the table and so should not be separated from the top
edge/border of the first row of table cells.
This annoying behavior is easily seen by setting a dark-colored background
and light-colored text to the caption, and then putting margin-top in the
table. Vary the margin-top to see the caption go up and down in FF. IE
properly renders the table with the caption ALWAYS adjoined to the top
edge of the first row of table cells.
I am really surprised that this nonsense has been going on for that long a
time and no one has seen it or seen fit to say something about it. The
CSS specification is quite clear on the concept. Given that the use of
captions in tables is as common as a P element or a character entity
reference, well....
