Hyperlink w/ImageUrl bug?

I can't find any issue in the MS KB, but I'm experiencing the following problem which seems to be specific to IE5, and NOT any other version of IE 5.5+ or NN 6+.

Issue:
I'm using an asp.net hyperlink control and setting the imageurl property. It seems that when the img tag is rendered in the hyperlink (<a>) tag, the img tag is closed with a /> instead of the usual > tag. Because of this, when the hyperlink is clicked in IE5, the hyperlink doesn't respond.

Anyone else experience this? Any solution besides telling users they must upgrade?

TIA,
 
Hello Leigh,

I just did a quick test on IE 5.0 and 6.0. The IE 5.0 version is 5.00.3502.1000.

Firstly, the code rendered is:

<FORM id="aaa">
<a id="HyperLink1" style="height:115px;width:83px;Z-INDEX: 103; LEFT: 147px; POSITION:
absolute; TOP: 191px"><img src="people.jpg" alt="TestHyperLinkControl" border="0" /></a></FORM>

The image could be shown correctly both in IE 6.0 and 5.0. I couldn't reproduce the problem.

Could you please paste your rendered code here? Thanks.

Hello Leigh,

I just tested it on IE 5.

The problem that I observed is that:
When I clicked the image, nothing happens. But when I move the mouse to the right of the image, I could access the link now.

It seems that the link is independant of the image now. Please let me know if it is what you got. If confirmed, I will contact our
product group to dig into it. Thanks very much.

Yes, this is the same problem we have run into. I'm relieved that you were
able to recreate it.

Hopefully, there is a quick workaround? Thanks!

Please add the custom attribute:
