Re: Odd rendering of hyperlinks in Working Draft 2008-05-11 on IE 7

This is intentional. The spec is full of these links, to index
entries, and having them all underlined proved to be very distracting
(yes, people complained :-). They should become fully underlined when
the mouse hovers over them.

This is done by the following CSS voodoo:

a[href^="#"] {
background:transparent url(term.png) no-repeat scroll right bottom;
color:black;
text-decoration:none;
}
a[href^="#"]:hover, div.indexdiv a, div.toc a {
background:transparent none repeat scroll 0%;
color:blue;
text-decoration:underline;
}

Have fun,
