Certain text is being mis-interpreted in the center of the page.

Clicking link in this snip:

The second one is the interview @ <a href="http://www.showstudio.com"><font
color="#CC0000"><strong>showstudio.com</strong></font></a> 
this coming Friday between 2.30pm – 4pm. And that is indeed London time. Go
there now and deliver your question to be possibly maybe answered. 

The link is interpreted as "www.studio.com > studio.com <" and is not found. 
Text in the remainder of the page ("Gigogrpahy") is interpreted as being in the
scope of the linked text, as if Mozilla dooesn't know where the active text ends.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to bjork.com
2. Click on any link below "Fashion Rocks..."
3.

Actual Results:  
Error message pops up saying URL could not be found.  URL ID is obviously
misinterpreted.

Expected Results:  
Should have parsed html correctly.

Internet Explorer and Opera seem to have no problem interpreting this html.

I think I see the problem:

href="http://www.showstudio.com>showstudio.com</a>

missing the closing quotation.  I am writing to them to complain.

Funny that IE and Opera handled it, though...

From the source:

session start over at <a href="http://www.showstudio.com>showstudio.com</a>

The closing quote is missing, so the parsing of the page breaks down.  The same
thing happens in IE6.  The site simply needs to fix their code.
