"Anchors (<A> Content </A>) in Wikipedia articles are not being displayed
correctly in my browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 5.00.2314.100
running under Windows 95 Version 4.00.950 B)."
Splarka:
This is most likely due to the odd behavior of IE5 in parsing css. It will
treat ">" the same as "," (the IE5 css engine predates child selectors). So a
rule like div.somethingspecific > a {display:block;} will be parsed as
div.somethingspecific , a {display:block;}, which then will apply to all anchor
tags. So check the applied CSS for such a thing, find who did it, and file a
bug (as it should also affect IE6, except IE6 will simply not apply the rules).
I have only been able to find such rules in
