           Summary: anchor link hover effect to show url is dangerous when
                    sites show their own effects
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh Intel
               URL: http://www.hulu.com
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Layout and Rendering
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: james at imaj.es


Sites such as hulu.com, grubhub.com and others have their own hover effect when
over a link. Hulu uses this to provide information about a show; grubhub uses
it to describe menu items. In both instances, Safari/WebKit shows the url in a
yellow box, floated above the site's own content, thus obscuring it. There is
no(?) way to disable this behavior.

This is specifically bad on grubhub, which can be seen in the attachment.
