When using a shorthand closed anchor tag, (e.g. <a href="#" />) the function
document.getElementsByTagName("a") returns more elements than it should. Using
<a href="#"></a> instead does not cause the same problem. See test case.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run test case
2.
3.
Actual Results:
alert box reported "7"
Expected Results:
should report "1"
