Konquerer/KHTML and <colgroup> tag

Does Konquerer/KHTML support the <colgroup> tag? From the recent work I've been doing on the web, it doesn't seem to. Pages I've made using it don't appear correctly (at least using align="" and font) in Konquerer or Safari (which uses KHTML). If anybody knows, please let me know, and if possible suggest some ways around this. Thanks!

From which revision of the HTML standard is this tag?

Does your code vaildate in w3c's validator?

HTML 4.01

But I'm pretty sure it's in earlier versions.

Yup, found it in the 4.0 recommendations too

Yes, I found it at least in 4.0
I asked because I didn't know about it yet.

Can you create a small example and describe how it should wokr/look like?

Sure. While the page itself doesn't validate (mainly errors of the validator trying to parse javascript), the column sections do validate.

<table>
<colgroup span="2" class="monkey"></colgroup>
<colgroup span="3" class="potato"></colgroup>
<tr>
<td>HTML</td>
<td>should</td>
<td>always</td>
<td>play</td>
<td>nice</td>
</tr>
</table>

This would create a table with 5 columns in a single row, the first two set to the class monkey, the next the set to the class potato. So 'HTML' and 'should' would display according to monkey, while 'always', 'play', and 'nice' would display according to potato (works with other things, fonts, etc, just an example). These attributes would also be assigned to the same columns in any additional row.
Doesn't work in Konqueror or Safari... and I don't think it works in Mozilla either, but it does in IE. *shrug*

Can you file a bugreport for KHTML on http://bugs.kde.org/ for this nice little testcase?
