The "About" title and the first sentence of the first paragraph ("Freevo is an
open-source digital video jukebox (PVR, DVR) based on Linux in addition to a
number of open-source audio/video tools.") is unexpectedly highlighted yellow
and underlined on mouse rollover. IE6 does not do this. None of the other
sentences or pages on this site seem to do this either.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://freevo.sourceforge.net/about.html
2. mouse rollover the title "About" or the first sentence (before the word
"MPlayer")


Actual Results:  
The text is unexpectedly highlighted yellow and underline.

Expected Results:  
Normal black on white text.

IE6 does not have this problem.

Out the source:
> <h2><a name="About">About</a></h2>
> a:hover{ background-color: lightyellow; text-decoration: underline; }

This is the correct behavior per W3C specification. If you only want 'links' to
have a :hover style use :link:hover or remove the 'name' attribute and replace
that whole heading like this: <h2 id="About">About</h2> it will work as expected.

-> INVALID
