           Summary: Specifying DOCTYPE messes up rendering
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525.x (Safari 3.1)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows Vista
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Layout and Rendering
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: gmtfn at yahoo.com

Consider the sample code below. With the DOCTYPE specified, the tables aren't
rendered as specified (inline), and backgrounds are ignored. However, removing
the DOCTYPE makes browsers that use Webkit (Safari and Google Chrome) render
the code as expected -- like all other browsers (Firefox, IE, and Opera) do.

I don't know how far reaching this problem is.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" 
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<html>
<body>
<table style="display:inline; background: green; width: 100px;">
<tr><td>inline table 1</td></tr>
</table> 

<table style="display:inline; background: blue; width: 100px;">
<tr><td>inline table 2</td></tr>
</table> 

</body>
</html>
