Allo,
Yesterday I received an interesting email from Hungary about a mysterious
Mozilla bug, and this prompted me to devise a variation on an old
experiment about temperature measurement[1] in CSS.
The idea I've just had was to highlight consecutive anchors (even if
separated by inline breaks). To this end, I inserted several anchors at
will, into a dialogue, where lines are broken with <br/>.
Experiment page:

Description
I used this type of a selector (css embedded in the document):
a:focus, a:hover {color 1 here plus background}
a:focus+a, a:hover+a, a:focus+br+a, a:hover+br+a {color 2 here}
It works in Mozilla 1.7 for one anchor ahead, and doesn't work in Opera
7.5.
By way of this experiment, I added empty generated content of block
display and specific dimensions to the inline breaks, like so:
br::after {
content: "";
width: 100%;
height: 20px;
display: block;
}
This, to my astonishment, worked in Opera 7.5, but didn't work in Mozilla
1.7.
I am quite puzzled about all results I have gotten, and would like to
kindly ask for feedback.
