(Whiteboard: [PDT+]w/b minus on 02/25,,Fix in hand)

This problem is consistent and repeatable. Start apprunner. Enter 'www.firstauction.com' into URL box, press enter. Page loads. In the left-most navigation frame there are green graphical buttons for each shopping department such as 'Electronics', 'Home Shop', and 'Furniture'. These buttons should be links to the proper department page. When I place my pointer over them, the pointer does not change from pointer icon to clicker icon, and clicking on the image has no effect. Using NS Comm v4.5.1 on NT4SP3 does not show this problem.

rickg could you take a look at this [ related to residual style ]. Ex. <FONT>hello<A></FONT>there</A> In the above example "there" is not linked ( linked in Nav4.x and IE ). This might have been fixed in your tree.

Moving to m15. The problem is this <font><a></font>. I'll likely rewrite the nesting rules in RS handling to correct for this.

I've reconsidered my position on this, and now believe we should fix it for beta. I don't believe it's too hard to solve, and I believe it can happen frequently, causing unpredictability with links for our users.
