M9 AppRunner 1999082412 on WinNT 4.0SP3. To repro: 1) open URl 2) on right side of page there's a nested table with a blueish background. Inside the table are HTML links. Mouseover and then click these links one by one. Expected: for every link, mouseover causes target URL to be displayed in status bar, and click goes to target page. Actual: only works as expected for Documentation, Articles, and CodeStock links. Other links display nothing in status bar on mouseover and do nothing when clicked.

The problem here is that elements (such as links) cannot be focused when they are within floating tables (ie tables whose align attribute is set to 'right') when a block-level element of a great enough width (such as a <p>, whose default width is equal to 100%) is next to the table. The attached testcase shows this behavior with a <p> whose background color is set to red. Where the <p> covers the floating table, the links within the floating table cannot be focused.

This is a known bug with :hover and :active; they can currently only apply to one element at a time, and the <p> is taking the limelight. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 5693 ***
