Details

I had this problem using the power search page at www.deja.com. After eliminating almost all the HTML
code, it turned out that the problem is due to deja.com putting <LI> tags inside anchor elements.

Here's an example that will cause the browser to think that the second link is actually www.mozilla.org
instead of www.mozillazine.org:

<a href="http://www.mozilla.org/"><li>Link to mozilla.org</a>
<P>
<a href="http://www.mozillazine.org">link to mozillazine.org</a>
