User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2 Style sheet for this page defines links: a:link { color: blue; text-decoration: none } a:visited { color: blue; text-decoration: none } a:hover { color: white; text-decoration: underline; background: blue } a:active { color: red; text-decoration: none; background: #DDDDDD } If link is designated with <b> outside hyperlink, then "active" renders correctly. If link designated with <b> inside, then does not. Example that works: <b><a href="http://www.icore.org/match.html">2005 Match Schedule</a></b> Example that does not render as expected: <a href="http://www.icore.org/About_ICORE.html"><b>About ICORE</b></a> This is a generic problem - shows up in Google search results page, or anywhere that a style is defined for active and then there is <b> operator inside the hyperlink definition. Applies to all versions of FireFox from 0.8 and up (when I started using it). Reproducible on Win98SE, Win2k, Win2kXP on PC. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Got to referenced web page. 2.Click on any menu item under "Quick Links" on right side. Observe red text and gray background when "active" 3.Click on any bolded item in center column and note that text does not change to red. Actual Results: See Details for explanation. Expected Results: It would be nice if the <b> operator is not position sensitive. Reviewed the html standards and it's not entirely obvious if it is a problem or not. For information, Internet Explorer does handle the juxtaposition of the <bold> and does render as expected. But, I prefer Firefox, of course.
