           Summary: HTMLCollection of RefTable.rows[] sequential order
                    should be according to the display (logical) order, not
                    document order

        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

In a HTML document,

1. <thead>
2. <tfoot>
3. <tbody>

is the document order (or coding order) of the table.

But the logical (display order) of the rows of a table is

1. <thead>
2. <tbody>
3. <tfoot>

The problem that occurs is when one creates an HTML collection of the rows of a
table. Which order should be used when creating the collection of rows? A
discussion in W3C mailing list and a subsequent modification/clarification in
DOM 2 HTML has settled/took care of this question:

{
rowIndex of type long, readonly, modified in DOM Level 2
    This is in logical order and not in document order. The rowIndex does take
into account sections (THEAD, TFOOT, or TBODY) within the table, placing THEAD
rows first in the index, followed by TBODY rows, followed by TFOOT rows.
}

Safari 2.02 (416.13) chooses the document order...which is the wrong order.

Steps to reproduce:
1- Load the provided URL
2- Click the button labelled
document.getElementById("idTable").rows[3].cells[2].childNodes[0].nodeValue

Actual results in Safari 2.02 (416.13):
The alert says "Your browser FAILED this test"

Expected results: 
The alert should say "Your browser PASSED this test"

I searched for a duplicate and couldn't find one. The component could be Tables
but I think it's HTML DOM.
