Hi,
thank you very much for your response.
You are right the html is not correct nested <a> seems to be forbidden.
Unfortunately for me this html is generated via tools. In fact I have
written a DocBook document
and the html is generated via DocBook XSL style sheets and in certain
circumstances they generate
this type of html.
I can be more precise and explain when this sort of thing occurs but as
I am new in this mailing list
I am afraid that this is not in the scope of this mailing list and I
don't want to bore everybody with
a problem that is not strictly speaking a css problem.
So if you are interested in with this I can be more explicit.
I think I will be obliged to customize the DocBook XSL style sheet in
order to avoid
such incorrect html generation (I presume this is not an obvious task....)
Thanks again
Best regards
Philippe
