That statement would be stronger if you could point to a test suite. :-) > Thanks, > Ted > > 1. https://twitter.com/stevefaulkner/status/306781110367571970 > 2. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Mar/0132.html > 3. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Feb/0795.html > 4. http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WebCore/html/HTMLAnchorElement.idl#L28 > 5. http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/interfaces/html/nsIDOMHTMLAnchorElement.idl#25 - Sam Ruby
