The tab order is broken when a <img> appears inside a <a> inside a nested <table>.
Test case:
____________________________
<html>
<head>
<title>Taborder Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>
Demonstrates how the forward tab order is broken by a
<code><img></code> inside a <code><a></code>
inside a nested <code><table></code>
on Mozilla 0.6 and Netscape 6.
</p>
<p>
Interesting to note: backward tab order is ok.
</p>
<form>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="text" value="something" name="entry1"></input>
</td>
<td>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<a href="http://www.mozilla.org">
<img src="http://lxr.mozilla.org/icons/back.gif"></img>
</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="text" value="another" name="entry2"></input>
</td>
</tr>
<table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Using build 2001010708 is working perfectly. Isn't this problem fixed in a new
version? Yes it is, at least IE does exactly the same as in my Mozilla build.

I am not quite sure I understand the problem. The best I can gather is that I
am supposed to be able to place the cursor in the first text field to start.
Then, by hitting tab, I should have a dotted outline around the arrow graphic.
Then, by hitting tab again, I should have the cursor in the other text field.
Is this what should be happening?
Heck, I have seen that now also, it did stop at that image! But now it's working
again?!

Jonathan Abrams' got it exactly right. I should have been more descriptive,
when I posted the bug.
You should be able to navigate from interaction element to interaction element
by pressing the keyboard tab key. You can navigate backwards by holding down
the shift key while pressing tab.
As demonstrated in the test case, the caret (focus) is stuck on the <a><img>
element.
NOTE tab navigation is very important for the professional use of web forms
(Web GUI). It is not only thought as an accessibility feature.

I see the bug as described in the previous comment, so confirming. I'm using
2001010504 Win98.

Removing whitespace (newline) between the <img> (which doesn't have a closing
tag, btw) and the </a> fixes the problem, so this is probably the same as bug
51680.
