table sizing broken

[bill]

​http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/tests/style/test_sizing.html reports incorrect results about tables on IE:

DEBUG:  ---mytable---
DEBUG:  outer size: actual=[90, 41], expected=[110, 60, ]
DEBUG:  inner size: actual=[80, 31], expected=[100, 50, ]
DEBUG:  content size: actual=[60, 11], expected=[80, 30, ]

... and also on FF:

DEBUG: ---mytable---
DEBUG: outer size: actual=[114, 64], expected=[110, 60, ]
DEBUG: inner size: actual=[114, 64], expected=[100, 50, ]
DEBUG: content size: actual=[108, 58], expected=[80, 30, ]

Also I wonder if the test itself is invalid, because width/height have different meanings depending on the browser. (border box sizing vs. content box sizing)

Bill, Should I keep this open, given all the discussions around measurements we've had in the past 2 weeks?

Hmm, I'm not sure. The consensus is that we want to continue supporting getMarginBox() and getContentBox()... but setMarginBox() on a table... I thought browsers didn't support setting the size of a table.

Possibly fixed with r8943. Reassigning to Scott, just in case.

Mostly the ...box functions should now work with TABLE and BUTTON, which generally have border-box model.

However, <table> should be given margin: 0 for maximum compatibility with ...box functions. See #3296.
