           Summary: Clicking drop-down box redirects to new page because of

I Steps:
Go to 
the attached reduction

II Issue:
Click on drop-down box. It redirects to new page because of the unclosed anchor
element.

III Conclusion:
The issue is because of the anchor tag.
The way Safari/Opera interpret the anchor element <a
href="http://www.apple.com"/> is different from FF/IE.If we have a closing
anchor tag, everything works fine. The above style of anchoring gets applied to
the whole table below that anchor tag.

Opera gets redirected to that page with a single click in the whole table area.
Safari gets redirected with a single click in the table area except for the
selection box. It takes you to the linked page after a couple of clicks on the
selection box. First try selecting and then click again on the text or the
arrow of the selection box.
FF3b4/IE7 don't redirect to the page. They simply ignore that anchor element.

IV Other browsers:
IE7: ok
FF3: ok
Opera9.24: not ok

V Nightly tested: 31238
