Dynamic linking test

I create one model:

http://www.nic.fi/~tapio1/Tests/LinkingModel3.html

a.subMenu span.LinkSet {display:none}
a.subMenu:active span.LinkSet {display:block; background-color:transparent; width:487px; padding:0; position:absolute; top:15px; left:2px; z-index:7; border: 1px solid black} /* korkeus sitten erikseen, mutta tähänkin sen voisi laittaa, jos haluaa kaikille saman korkeuden */

+

<a href="#" class="subMenu"><img ... class="subMenuArrow" /><span class="LinkSet">... much links ... </span></a>

WORKS FINE WITH MS IE 5.5 WINDOWS! EXTREMELY SIMPLE WAY TO REPLACE COMPLEX DHTML SCRIPTS!!!

BUT Mozilla 0.9 shows links! (I can hide them from Opera 4-6.x)
I tried to take them off:

http://www.nic.fi/~tapio1/Tests/LinkingModel4.html

a[class="SubMenu"] {display:none !important}

+

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
if(navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape")!=-1){document.write('\<!--'); }
//-->
</script>
...
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
if(navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape")!=-1){document.write('--\>'); }
//-->
</script>

Neither of them doesn't work and I don't understand, what's wrong!

Could you test with a recent version and not the ancient 0.9?

Are the links _always_ showing?  Or are they hidden at first, then show when 
they are supposed to, then never hide again?

I should note that <a> is an inline element, and making a child of it a 
block-level element leads to a bogus box model in HTML.

Tapio Markula, could you please answer my questions?  That will be a lot more 
effective than capital letters or exclamation points in getting this bug 
resolved.

It seems the reporter has abandoned this bug, and as it is filed against Mozilla
0.9 !!! then this bug is invalid.
