Click on one of the messages that are displayed below. It doesn't work. The cursor changes to indicate it's over a link, but nothing happens when you click on it. The messages are inside a table with entries like <td valign=top><a href=/bbs?action=m&board=yahoo.3b.0c.4688185&topicid=0m2&msgid=732ifl$85s$1@m2.y ahoo.com>Funny u should mention DNCC<br></a><font size=-1>Nov 19 1998, 9:00PM EST, Wait4Profit</font></td></tr>

Summary: Attribute problem on hrefs
This doens't seem to be an event issue. The events are getting fired just fine. But the GetAttribute on the link is coming back with a null href. Passing on.

<A NAME=xxx> containing the lower table was causing all the events to be eaten. I've revised the nsHTMLAnchorElement code to notice that there is no HREF attribute and when this occurs to make it be transparent to the event handling. This allows the interior children to get the event.
