Created attachment 3796 [details] Reduced test case The problem appears to be that when WebKit encounters the </last> in <last><a href='http://google.com/'></last> it is closing the A tag. Gecko-based browsers ignore both the opening and closing 'last' tags.

This is related to http://bugzilla.opendarwin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5771 Doesn't necessarily depend on 5771.

This appears to be fixed as of a local debug build of WebKit r30458.

(In reply to comment #4) > This appears to be fixed as of a local debug build of WebKit r30458. Agreed. The tag should not be ignored, and it isn't, but Safari 3.0.4 and TOT WebKit correctly re-open the <a> tag.
