145673 - blue underline in header

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.0rc2)

When using a a-href tag with a span in it, when the
span has a text-decoration:none in it, IE will NOT underline
this part, but mozilla will underline this, span part. 

Following is an example, [need change in html tags]:

[a href="bla"][span style="text-decoration:none"]some text[/span][/a]

When adding a text-decoration:none to a href tag it will be
displayed correctly. I'm wondering if this is a bug or just a different
approach to rendering. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a html page with [a href="bla"][span style="text-decoration:none"]some
text[/span][/a]

2. just watch it in IE
3. than watch it in Mozilla

Actual Results:  IE doesn't underline the tag, Mozilla does

Expected Results:  not underline it, will make a lot of websites look better in
Mozilla.

My question is if the text should be underlined or not, the span says no, and
the a-href says yes?
