Overview Description: 

The above about sums it up. Here's a snippet of html from that page. The part
that's having trouble's in there but, of course, isn't necessarily what's
causing it ;)

Steps to Reproduce: 
1) Go to www.rent.net and click on the link labelled "Apartments & rentals" The
link itself says "Photos, floor plans and virtual tours in the US and Canada"
2) This will take you to a listing of states in the US and Canada.
3) Choose a state, any state (I've tried Texas and Oregon and have had the same
problem in both).
4) This will take you to a page titled "Select City or Region."
5) The labels maked "Search Checked Cities," "Search Region," and "Get Area Map"
(where applicable) should be links but Mozilla doesn't seem to recognize them as
such while Netscape 4.7 does.

Reproducibility: 

It's done it every time up until now.

Build Date & Platform Bug Found: 

Linux build 2000052320

Additional Builds and Platforms Tested On: 

None (worked under Netscape).

Comment 1

[Dave]

Got it to work once but the pointer still never changed to acknowlege that it
was a link... also, when hitting the back button, it skips the page with the
state listing. This page in general just seems to be causing problems.

Comment 2

[Blake Ross]

Sounds like a regression of one of the many links-inside-tables-not-recognized 
bugs.  I'll try to find one

Comment 3

[Bernd Mielke]

Blake Ross could you give a pointer to which component the duplicate should be.
Its definetely not html-table. I read all open html bug reports, there was no
report about that.

Attachment: image for the testcase

Comment 6

[Bernd Mielke]

The testcase demonstrates that the bug has nothing to do with tables. It simply
uses an input control with type "image" that does not cause a mouse cursor
change when the cursor is over the image. Renaming & Reassigning the bug

Comment 7

[rods (gone)]

This rule needs to be added to html.css:

input[type=image]:hover {
  cursor: pointer;
}

Comment 8

[rods (gone)]

Nominating for nsbeta2. This fix is trival (simple change to html.css) and it 
improves the quality of Gecko
