Details

On Win98, I tested the HTML code attached below containing 1 link comprising 3 words "their press release". When the browser is resized such that the 3 words are broken across 2 lines, clicking on the part that appears on the second line doesn't follow through to the next page. The failure does not occurs if (1) I remove the <table>, <tr>, <td> tags completely, or (2) the entire link appears within one line, or (3) the link appears across 2 lines but I click on the first line ----------------- <html> <body> <table> <tr> <td valign="top">see <a href="http://www.valinux.com/aboutva/releases/vamomentum.html">their press release</a></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
When I said "link appear within one line" is this bug report, I mean as rendered by the browser window. I did not try changing the spacing in the HTML source. kyoung@kyoung.net

Tested using 6/18 build on Win 98. Apprunner did not break the link upon resize so I tested in Viewer. In Viewer, I resized the page (1) so that 'their' was on the first line and 'press release' was on the second line and (2) so that 'their press' was on the first line and 'release' was on the second line. In both cases, I clicked the link on both lines and was able to link to external page. Unable to duplicate bug. Marking bug WORKSFORME.
