Gracious me – a bug in IE?

Fortunately, it doesn’t break the rendering of the page, but significantly breaks the UI.

IE (including IE8) has a minor, but annoying problem with anything inside the links, which is displayed as blocks (even originally inline elements like span set to display:block via CSS). When right-clicking these elements, not the link context menu, but the default page context menu is displayed, so the user is unable to open the link in the new tab/window etc. Of course, user still can use middle-click or shift/ctrl + left click... but the expected link behavior becomes significantly broken, IMHO.

Doh, for some reason I completely didn’t make the connection to Remy’s Vomit Bug—this looks like a variant. Chunder galore!

Hey All, I made a test case, posted a bug to Bugzilla, and wrote a blog post about the Firefox block-level link + HTML5 element bug. HTH

Hi All, I’ve encountered some block-level link weirdness in Firefox 3.5.2. When the block-level link contains an HTML5 element, the DOM gets fubar. Here’s the test case: Firefox closes block-level links when encountering HTML5 elements And it’s bug #514122 on Bugzilla. @bruce sorry for not replying—I forgot to subscribe. This was in Safari and Firefox off memory, but in filing this bug report I found that setting {background:inherit;} for contained elements did the trick. peace - oli
