With IE there is no problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.See page http://www.patrouille-suisse.ch/eventcalendar/index.php 2.Try to click on a event 3.Not possible Actual Results: No response Expected Results: A click should bring a the page with this event in the calendar.
The links do not work because the HTML is broken. Viewing source reveals the page has: DOCTYPE <HTML> <HEAD></HEAD> <BODY> DOCTYPE <HTML> <HEAD></HEAD> <BODY></BODY> </BODY> </HTML> </HTML> When I just deleted the duplicate DOCTYPE, HTML, HEAD, BODY then the page worked. I would suggest you write to the site and ask them to straighten out their code. I'm going to try moving this to Browser/Parser (the same thing happens in Mozilla) to see if we should be doing anything better/more in the way of handling this example of broken code. Otherwise, this should be moved over to Tech Evangelism.

Actaully, the parser is not at fault here. The "second" (first, actually) body has a div that's positined over all the content. This div gets the click events, so the content below it never sees them. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 102695 ***

Thanks for looking into this. Sorry about that I didn't check myself at first the HTML-code of this strange page. BTW also Opera 7.20 can't read the links on this page. I sent a EMail to the webmaster of this site. Thanks again.
verified.
