Details
Applying float: left to a DIV does not allow the links to peek through the "overlying" content, and internal block-level tags are not included in the float. Will attach testcase code.

Block problem
Assignee: troy → kipp
This looks a lot like bug 1413, which is supposedly fixed now. I'll look at this later...
Updating to default Layout Assignee...kipp no longer with us :-(
Why are you re-reassing layout bugs? Do NOT touch layout bugs. The bugs are assigned to Kipp so they can stay neatly organized until we have a new owner for the block/inline code.

Summary: float: left does not allow links to activate properly, and block-level is not encapsulated. → [DOGFOOD] event handling on right-floating images causes links not to work
Yep, looks like bug 1413 has regressed or was not completely fixed. Here is a test page from bug 22136 which was found on CSS: http://home.hiwaay.net/~stephena/mozprob1/index.html A "simplified" test case has been made of this: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=3623 A link is in a table is in a table which is right aligned in a table, and the link is not getting mouse events. Reassigning to Event Handling and joki which is what Troy did to bug 22136. Changing summary to be the same as 1413's. Note that 1413 was PDT-, M12 STAY. Joki: If you don't want this bug, bug 1413 was fixed by kin@netscape.com.
*** Bug 22136 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Severity: normal → major
Upgrading severity because inability to access links in a hyper-text document would seem like a major loss of functionality.
Whiteboard: [PDT-]
Putting on pdt- radar. Unless you can identify a top 100 site with this problem.
Doesn't CNN rank in your top 100. That's where I found it. I saved off one of their pages to make a testcase (see a couple commments earlier) but as far as I know every single one of their stories suffers from this.
Target Milestone: M13
Whiteboard: [PDT-] → [PDT-][TESTCASE]
Adding [TESTCASE] on Status Whiteboard...attached HTML testcase.
Leger: You said "Putting on pdt- radar. Unless you can identify a top 100 site with this problem.", but as pointed out by stephena@hiwaay.net, this bug was found on the CNN web site and affects all their stories. Should this therefore be reconsidered for PDT+?
Summary: [DOGFOOD] event handling on right-floating images causes links not to work → [EVENTTARG][DOGFOOD] event handling on right-floating images causes links not to work
I believe this is a duplicate of bug 23161, which is PDT+. I have found a temporary fix for that bug, and I'm waiting to see what joki thinks of that fix. The real fix is a little more complicated...
Target Milestone: M13 → M14
Moving M14.
