Bug report: replacement of anchor.href replaces anchor.innerText a

Artyom · Apr 2, 2010

If anchor.innerText contains the "@" sign, anchor.innerText is replaced with
anchor.href

here is the example of page that shows the misfunctionality.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http/www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>

<body>

<a href="#" onclick="return false;">@@SomeText@@</a>

<script type="text/javascript">
var anchors=document.getElementsByTagName('a');

for(var i=anchors.length-1;i>=0;i--)
anchors.href=decodeURI(anchors.href);
</script>

</body>
</html>
