300623 - Links without "href" attributes still use hover colours

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 54318

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Mike]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

When hovering the mouse over <A> tags which don't have a HREF attribute - and so
aren't actually links, for instance, <A NAME="top"> - FireFox still switches to
the hover style for links on that page. (When you aren't hovering, however, it
shows it as normal text, and not as a link.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. On http://www.g3web.org/hover.html, as an example, move the mouse over the
"Top of the page" text (which is in a <A NAME="top">...</A> tag)

Actual Results:  
Colors, underline style, etc, change as they would for normal links

Expected Results:  
Nothing. Style should have stayed as it is for plain text.

N/A

That's what is specified: a:hover {color:#0000ff;text-decoration:underline}
If you don't want that, then use a:link:hover.
