The hotmail team sent me a beta to their awesome new hotmail beta. The problem is they coded the invite with the worst HTML I’ve ever seen. It’s pretty normal to make HTML mistakes, but these are not actually mistakes. Interestingly, they took advantage of IE’s ability to figure out horrible HTML.
Basically, all the links are nested like so,
<table>
<a>
<tr>
<td>Click Me</td>
</tr>
</a>
</table>
These links appear to work in IE, but not in Firefox or Opera (IE is actually broken on my machine. It just doesn’t work anymore…). Funny tactic huh?
