[opencms-dev] CSS files NOT applying to html files

[pat sad]

I noticed that openCMS ignores <span> tags if they are placed
outside(but surrounds) a table.

For example this code works on ALL browsers  but when I insert the
html file in openCMS it doesn't apply the CSS:

<span class="TAGS">
   <table border="0" align="center">
     <tr><td align="left">
      <img src="scroll.gif><a href="tour.html" target="_blank">Product
Tour  </a>
     </td></tr>

      <tr><td align="left>
        <img src="video.gif><a href="hlp.ca" target="_blank">HLP Video  </a>
      </td></tr>
  </table>

  <table border="0" align="center">			
     <tr><td>
      <a href="product_demo.html" target="_top">Try Demo</font> </a>
     </td></tr>
   </table>
</span>

By working I mean that the CSS is applied to both tables and all the
data in the rows and columns.

But when I "html import" the html file containing that code in
openCMS, it doesn't apply the CSS.

It only works(in openCMS) if I include the <span class="TAGS"> in each
column <TD>, like this:

   <table border="0" align="center">
     <tr><td align="left"><span class="TAGS">
      <img src="scroll.gif><a href="tour.html" target="_blank">Product
Tour  </a>
     </span></td></tr>

      <tr><td align="left><span class="TAGS">
        <img src="video.gif><a href="hlp.ca" target="_blank">HLP Video  </a>
      </span></td></tr>
  </table>

  <table border="0" align="center">			
     <tr><td><span class="TAGS">
      <a href="product_demo.html" target="_top">Try Demo</font> </a>
     </span></td></tr>
   </table>

Is this an openCMS bug ? is there a way around that problem ?
