The above URL link did not clickable in firefox browser.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Just write a simple page with above html contents.
2.open the html file with firefox
3.click the table line, and no any reponse.

Actual Results:  
Regaring to the IE, it works the table line of URL should be clickable. I am not
sure the HTML format is correct or wrong. But firefox should treat it as IE.

I can click on that, though the HTML is invalid, only inline elements are
allowed within a link. About the cursor, use pointer if you want an element to
get the hand when hovering. 

You can also skip the javascript: in the event callers.

I am not very clear what you mean. Maybe you mean the <A href="..> tag are not
allowed in there. But if I want to such effection, what is the correct style?

A table is not allowed within a link, within a link y ou can only have inline
elements (span, strong, em , etc)
