(Whiteboard: ascertaining blame; waiting for response)
build id: 1999051708
platform: windows NT
here's the sample HTML:
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Ich biete an</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY><A HREF="biete.htm" TARGET="main"><P>Ich<BR>biete an</P></A></BODY>
</HTML>
if you remove the <P> tags, the link works. as it's written above, however, the
link does not work.
of course, this is bad html (<P> is a block-level tag - and only %inline tags
are allowed inside of an anchor). i'm filing this bug only for backwards
compatibility reasons - if we don't fix this, this is fine too, I'm sure.

This may be a parser issue. When using CNavDTD, are we putting the <P> inside
the link or are we closing the link before the <P>?
(QA don't get debug builds so I cannot just dump the document tree...)

Rick, I'm assigning this bug to the parser for you to see if it is a parser
issue or a layout issue. If it is a layout issue, please assign back to kipp in
the layout component. Thanks.
