User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3

I just finished my new web page (warren-dickerson-aia.com) and used hyperlinks inside of text boxes (I use frontpage 2003). Firefox 3.6.3 does not recognized them. Everything works fine in explore 8 (sorry). The links to the pages or the email does not work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open web page
2.try to click on history link
3.
Actual Results:  
nothing, you don't even get a link hand show up. The curser remains an arrowhead.

Expected Results:  
It should have linked you to the "history" page on my web site.

This is true for all the hyperlinks on my page. As I stated it works fine in Explorer 8. so you can verify what should happen with that browser.

Given the invalid code frontpage generates, this is a tech evangelism bug where the author needs to be informed of how non-standard code will fail in EVERY browser other than Internet Explorer (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, etc.)
Given that, correcting the page code is what you need to do.
