Invisible table captions in javadoc-generated html (original) (raw)

Hi doclet maintainers,

This is a bug report with what might be an easy fix.

At javadoc8's suggestion, jsr166 javadoc tables now have tags. But the caption text is invisible, because the background color is the same as the foreground color, #FFFFFF.

See the invisible text for yourself here: http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/jsr166/dist/docs/java/util/Deque.html If you mouse-select the caption text, it magically becomes visible.

I think the culprit is this code from src/share/classes/com/sun/tools/doclets/internal/toolkit/resources/stylesheet.css

.overviewSummary caption, .packageSummary caption, .contentContainer ul.blockList li.blockList caption, .summary caption, .classUseContainer caption, .constantValuesContainer caption { position:relative; text-align:left; background-repeat:no-repeat; color:#FFFFFF; font-weight:bold; clear:none; overflow:hidden; padding:0px; margin:0px; }

I have reason to believe that if you change the color: above to e.g. color:#353833, the captions will become visible. I have no idea whether anything else will change.
