Opera's box model bug?

[altamir]

hi!

let's consider the following code:
<img style="border-bottom:23px solid blue" width="100px" height="100px"
src="square.gif" />

it should produce something like this:
http://www.pbox.pl/test/css/03/good.gif

but in opera 7.22 (windows) it looks like:
http://www.pbox.pl/test/css/03/bad.gif

see also a little document:
http://www.pbox.pl/test/css/03/

what do you think? is it opera's box model bug?

<img style="border-bottom:23px solid blue" width="100px" height="100px"
src="square.gif" />

The width and height attributes accept numbers, not CSS lengths. The alt
attribute is required.

I wouldn't attribute anything to bugs until the code conformed to the
standard.

@news.demon.co.uk:

setting 'width="100" height="100"' doesn't change anything.

The alt attribute is required.

my mistake, but the original http://www.pbox.pl/test/css/03/ document is
valid xhtml 1.1

I wouldn't attribute anything to bugs until the code conformed to the
standard.

it's valid.

It's a known bug in the latest versions of Opera (maybe only 7.2x ?).

It applies to padding as well as border, but only seems to apply to
height not width.

It will no doubt be fixed before long, until then you have a choice of
either not worrying about it or of working around it (by not
specifying the height and width in the HTML for example, or my moving
the styles to another element).

It is a known bug in Opera 7.21+. We've been promised it will be fixed in
the next non-security-fix release.

Setting the border or padding for any <img/> element causes the image to
be scaled weirdly.

so, it's a bug. i really like opera, but sometimes i issue with some weird
bugs and behaviors which makes me think that it's not so good browser as
many people say, but better than ie6 for sure.
