Description

[Henrik Gemal]

If you go to:
http://www.bluesnews.com/
and move your mouse over the links in the menu to the left, the link goes read 
and a line is shown above each link.
In Internet Explorer there is a line both above and below!

Changing component to Style System for Pierre to look at the style angle

[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-5, no longer working on Mozilla)]

The relevant frame is http://www.bluesnews.com/contents.html .  I think this bug
is INVALID.  There are two style elements, each containing a style rule for
a:hover. The first one says

text-decoration: underline;

and the second one says

text-decoration: overline;

The second one should override the first.  I think this is a bug in IE5 that the
declarations are not cascading correctly, but rather accumulating.  The correct
thing would be

text-decoration: underline overline;

Taking over 1/3 of Pierre's NEW bugs to help reduce his doomage factor

Comment 4

[Pierre Saslawsky]

Reassigned back to me these bugs that shouldn't have left my list.

Comment 5

[Marc Attinasi]

Mozilla is applying the style correctly. As David described, the second rule is 
the rule that is applied, not both. If a single rule is specified ti works fine 
(see dbaron's comment of 2000-02-12 08:49)

marking INVALID since this is not a valid bug.
