I specified the anchor in the example above to have a width of 100%, but it
displays as if the width would be set to "auto". This problem seems to occur
*only* with anchors, DIVs and headers are not affected. I have tested this with
Mozilla 1.8a4, build 2004090707.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Wrong rendering

Expected Results:  
Render it correctly. IE and Opera do so.

Width only applies to block elements.  <A> is an inline element.

Add display:block to the A tag styles for this to work as you want.

The behavior of other browsers would be a bug.

Ah, alright. Yes, that works. Sorry for the wrong bug report, I wasn't aware
about the differences in between those two types. I didn't know that there are
"inline" and "block" elements.
