Firefox: animations don't work on table rows (tr) because display:block; should be display:;

[beat]

$("tr.contentRowToChange).slideUp("slow");

doesn't work as expected in Firefox 2.0.11, as it changes the display type of the tr element to "block", all the content gets into the first column of table.

I have found that changing display type to "" instead of "block" works on all instances.

$("tr.contentRowToChange).slideDown("slow");

has another bug: it leaves the space visible, but didn't find why.

This is likely related to #1082.

You can't slide table rows, as you can't manipulate the height of them. Any solution to this is far too convoluted to implement sanely. It's probably better to just use regular, non-animated, hide and show for now.

#8852 is a duplicate of this ticket.

I am in no way needing this for table elements but I don't want to create a new ticket when asking for the same thing.

Why does the display change when using .slideDown()? I don't want display to be set to block. I don't want it to be set to anything.
