           Summary: Generated FancyIndexing not Valid HTML 3.2
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.0.55
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: mod_autoindex
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: josestefan@hotmail.com


Auto-Indexes featuring the FancyIndexing option are not 100% compatible with 
HTML 3.2. This can be confirmed by using the W3C Validator against any 
directory which is known to generate such auto-index:
http://validator.w3.org/

Validator will complain that the html PRE tag does not allow the use of the HR 
and IMG tags within it. While most popular browsers can tolerate minor html 
mistakes, 100% compatibility is expected.

A temporary solution is for the customer to enable the HTMLTable option, or to 
disable FancyIndexing entirely.

This code was designed before html tables where universally supported.  The
compiled-in default can't be changed for backward-compat reasons.  But I suppose
it makes sense at this point to use HTMLTable in the default config file.

End-User Tip:
When using Apache 2.2.x and HTMLTable option, if you wish to keep the look-and-
feel of the old FancyIndexing, you could use CSS to specify a Monospace font. 
Like indicated here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_autoindex.html#indexstylesheet

Here's the CSS code I suggest:
table {
  font-family: "Courier New", monospace;
  font-size: x-small;
}

In Detail: The lack of a PRE tag causes the table to render using the 
default "Web Page" font, instead of the "Plain Text" font. That would usually 
be "Times New Roman" (for windows systems). Basicly, you could accomplish 
specifying the exact font you want to use, so that the FancyIndexing looks 
closer to what it was before.

NOTE: Support for CSS for HTMLTables is a new feature on Apache 2.2.x

PS: Would it be possible for such feature to be added on future versions of 
Apache 2.0.x ?
