23780 - Anchor element not closed by second <A>

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 3944

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Chris Petersen]

Build: Apprunner
Version: 2000011008
Platform: All
Expected Results: An Anchor element should be closed by the next <A> element.

What I got: The first <A> is not closed properly so it HREF is applied to page.
Even thought a second <A> is present, the HREF is applied to other elements.

I know this is bad HTML (found at the url specified), but Nav 4.7 will close the
first <A> when it encounters the second <A>. It would be nice to see Gecko do the
same.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open attached test case.
2) Notice the second anchor and additional elements have the HREF source applied
from the first <A>.

SPAM. HTML Element component is deprecated, changing to Layout component. See
bug 88132 for details.
