Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[Brian C. Miles]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529
BuildID:    2002052918

-Click in the "Summer Recipes" link on the left-hand side of the page.
 (The bottom frame loads the recipes page)

When clicking on any link in the page, the browser always loads the
"Preparation" link.  When mousing over any link on the page, the URL for the
"Preparation" link is displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the window. 
However, I can copy the indiviual link locations correctly (by right clicking on
the link, etc.)

Neither IE 5.2 nor OmniWeb 4.1b7 exhibit this behavior.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click in the "Summer Recipes" link on the left-hand side of the page.
2. Mouse over or click on any of the links on the recipes page


Actual Results:  The preparation page is always loaded

Expected Results:  The link clicked on should load.

I've seen this running Mac OS X 10.1.5 on a PowerBook G3 Series (a.k.a. Lombard).

-->Evangelism. On line 23 of the source, the table enclosing the links in
question is itself enclosed in a link to the Preparation page. Thus, their HTML
is invalid and not well-formed.

i.e.,
<a><table><tr><td><a></a></td></tr></table></a>

The outer anchor is followed.

Same faulty behavior in Mozilla on Win 98.

This bug references a previous version of this page. 

I couldn't find any problems with navigation on the current page.
