297913 - cannot define a list item inside an <A> link

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 295596

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect)

Description

[dguerrero]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050531 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050531 Firefox/1.0+

List items defined inside a <A> link are not clickable. For example:

<UL>
<LI><A HREF="pg1.html>Page 1</LI></A>
<A HREF="pg2.html"><LI>Page 2</LI></A>
</UL>

The first item is clickable, the second one is not. IE accepts both forms (in
the second one the link can be activated by clicking over the bullet too.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a html document with the snippet below:
 <UL>
 <LI><A HREF="pg1.html>Page 1</LI></A>
 <A HREF="pg2.html"><LI>Page 2</LI></A>
 </UL>
2. open it in Mozilla.

Actual Results:  
The first link is activable, the second one is not.

Expected Results:  
Both items should have been activable.

I have only tested it in Deer Park Alpha.
