Description Wilbert Berendsen 2004-08-02 07:22:30 UTC 
Version:           3.2.2 (using KDE 3.2.2,  (testing/unstable))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 (Debian 20040401)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.26

On some sites (e.g. http://www.tlig.org/nl/nlwrtng.html) that use old, sgml-style HTML, Konqueror does not close A-elements properly when there are other elements within that are not closed, like <P>.

This is the HTML, also attached as a testcase:

<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>

<A HREF=nowhere.html><P><IMG SRC=myimg.png ALT=myimg.png ALIGN=LEFT></A>

<P>This is normal text and should not be clickable.

</BODY></HTML>

a testcase that shows konqueror missing the </A> tag

btw, as I'm on holiday, with knoppix, I could not test the most recent CVS
version :-)

you call that old-style HTML? I call that broken HTML :)
Comment 3 Allan Sandfeld 2005-03-22 12:20:09 UTC 
Fixed by Apple's residual style patch.
