Html problem. Anchor tags href not working [Really Weird]?

Question

Edit: closing anchor fixed - This issue exists when testing on the following browsers

Google Chrome

Firefox 3.5

Safari

Works with no problems on IE 8
Hey guys,
I'v a really weired problem here! In short, take a look at the following html:

<a href="login_page.html" class="img">
<span class="img_holder">
 <img src="images/columnists/mike_zeisberger248.jpg" onerror="this.src='default.jpg'"/>
</span>
<span class="btn">track him</span></a>

Here's the img_holder css class

.img_holder{
border: 1px solid #c8c8c8;
display:block;
background:#fff; 
height: 100px

}

and the img class

.img{
_margin:0 12px 12px 0;

}

Now, the problem is that, clicking the image nested inside the anchor tag doesn't take you to it's href link (thought, the href link shows in the status bar when hovering over the image, and opens perfectly fine when opening in new tab).

any ideas!?

Answer 1

Well, there area few obvious problems that spring out; one is the / before your onerror, and the second is that the <a> in question doesn't seem to be closed.

Apart from that, there doesn't seem to be any obvious reasons why it wouldn't work; perhaps a more complete post of source code is in order?

Answer 2

what is with the trailing slash after the img src attribute? also you don't appear to be wrapping the html snippet with the anchor tag.
