In the page at http://members.truepath.com/ron text in  the colored link boxes
on the left side of the page should be in the Comic Sans MS font, if that font
is installed.  In Mozilla, it is in a serif font.  The Comic Sans MS font is
specified in the following external stylesheet.
http://members.truepath.com/ron/Np.css


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.goto http://members.truepath.com/ron/

Actual Results:  The text in colored link boxes on the left side of the page is
in a serif font.

Expected Results:  Displayed the text in a Comic Sans MS font.

This code in an external stylesheet.

a.bar { text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600; font-family:"Comic Sans MS",
Monaco, sans-serif }
a.bar:link { color: white } a.bar:visited { color: yellow } a.bar:active {
color: #90ee90 }

This sure looks like a valid style bug: however it is crashing loading the page 
right now in the ContentSink.

I've created a testcase and it is fine... I'll attach that.

The M15 build doesn't crash and shows the page at the URL above correctly. M15 
was released shortly after the bug was filed. The reporter was using M13.

Based on the testcase and Pierre's comments, marking WORKSFORME.

The links at the left in the page are comic sans MS, and so is the text in the 
testcase.  However, I don't see the anchor in comic sans MS in the testcase.  
Marc, is this a known bug? Or do you want me to file?

Code that isn't showing up at all is:
<A class=bar HREF="http://www.attinasi.org">Anchor in Comic Sans MS font</A>

Let me know, thanks

I'm not sure if it is a known bug - the strict doctype is causing the A not to 
show up, even if I remove the class which causes the styling. Chanign the 
doctype to transitional makes it all work fine.

I'll ask the parser owner if there is a know problem with an A in a strict 
doctype. Thanks Blake, I'll report back what Harish has to say.
I updated the testcase. I believe that the strict DTD requires that an Anchor be 
inside of a block element, in this case I put it inside of a Paragraph. I'm 
still checking to make sure that there is no bug here, but I vaguely remember 
Rick G. talking about this peculiar aspect of the STRICT DTD. If anybody is 
knowledgable on this detail, please chime in...
Harish verified that an <A> in a <BODY> is illegal in the strict DTD. The <A> 
must be in a block element. Note that the testcase has been updated.
Thanks, marc. So it's not a bug, then?
No, it is not a bug, it is a feature! Seriously, that is the way the HTML4 
strict DTD says it has to be, strange as it seems. Thanks again, Blake.
