Status: VERIFIED INVALID

Description

[Martin Cetkovsky]

On the http://www.alikuvkoutek.cz/home.htm the Mozilla 1.0+ (On 0.9.x it seems
to be right), the browser show the page bad. The links is not presented as a
link, but only as normal text. It can't be clicked on them.

Note: It aplies in Netscape based on the described Mozilla version as well.

This seems to be a problem with the page coding.

Here is how the <a> tag is presented on this page
<a href="http://admin.nixnet.cz" />http://admin.nixnet.cz

the trailing "/" in the <a> tag seems to be the XHTML method used in contentless
tags (like <br>). However this should not be used in <a>. The proper format of
this link is:

<a href="http://admin.nixnet.cz">http://admin.nixnet.cz</a>

WFM with Mozilla 1.1 (build id 20020826) on Linux.

This is not a Mozilla bug (<a> is not an empty element, see Eclectric's comment).
