Hi Ross,

to be honest, the way I wrote the source code isn't the cleanest way. Example:

<div class='box_top box_topcol_x'>
<a class='top_link' href='http://www.lugnet.com/announce/moc/?n=3783'
title=''>Green Quad
<span>
<img src='http://www.lugnet.com/img/theme/mini/mecha.gif' alt='' />
Hey all, check out my (URL) Green Quad, now on Brickshelf! YAY!<br />  (URL)
(URL) (IMAGE)<br />  I want this latest creation to remind fellow LUGNET
Members, we come here to share ideas and enjoy all things LEGO!<br /> (IMAGE)<br
/> This is the last in a series of Proto Types that use wheels at (...)<br />(by
Eric Sophie on Mon, 19 Feb 2007 in lugnet.announce.moc)
</span></a>
</div>

The closing tag for the link isn't placed between "Green Quad" and <span> like
it would be correct. But to force IE to display <span> it has to be a link,
because IE knows :hover for <a>-tags only (which is NOT correct behaviour).

(...) Ah good old IE! Maybe we should penalise people who use IE by using the correct code?????? (Yes, I am kidding!!!!) ROSCO (20 years ago, 19-Feb-07, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Yeah I was pretty sure it was correct behaviour, but it could be a little confusing/annoying. I guess there's no easy way to work around it? ROSCO (20 years ago, 19-Feb-07, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
