No. That last time I tried it was many years ago. Maybe it works now. I neither know nor care.


So you are basically just trolling at this point.


No, I'm giving you honest answers to your questions. Just because I have not gone back to explore a broken feature to see if it is no longer broken doesn't make me a troll.

But my point stands even if display:table works nowadays. The problem is not what you have to type in order to specify that some piece of markup should be displayed as a table even though it is not semantically a table. What matters is how much you have to type, and whether you have to redundantly specify that a table is for display only on every row and cell. To use display:table you also have to specify display:table-row and display:table-cell, and you have to do it again and again and again and again even though all this information is redundant and only needs to be specified once at the top level. There is absolutely no rational justification for this. It would be as if you had to specify the type of a variable in C not just when it was declared, but again every single time you referenced it.
