When using Firefox, if I middle-click one of the top stories to open in a

Hi Ross,

this is [correct behaviour], because the whole link is still active. The
link consists of the subject in the blue Top Stories Box AND the text in the
yellow box (in FF clarified by the dotted line). Click on any place on the
site to de-activate the link.

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?

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

</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 (18 years ago, 19-Feb-07, to lugnet.admin.general)
