4 months ago Dillo already allows authors to use div elements inside a (anchor) elements in HTML5. For HTML 4.01 this is not allowed, so Dillo complains and closes the anchor. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/1828032.
Here are the tests, for HTML5:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Div inside a in HTML5</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#">
<div>
<img src=pic.png>
<p>This paragraph along with the picture should be hyperlink.</p>
</div>
</a>
</body>
</html>For HTML 4.01:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Div inside a in HTML4</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#">
<div>
<img src=pic.png>
<p>This paragraph along with the picture should fail to be an hyperlink.</p>
</div>
</a>
</body>
</html>If you are reading that error lines in the bug meter, your document has not the proper HTML 5 doctype so it is not being parsed as HTML 5. Ensure the first line of your document is this:
<!DOCTYPE html>

I was trying to create the structure shown here with an <ul> containing <li> elements containing an <a> which in turns contains some <div> elements for formatting.
But dillo 3.1.1 didn't like that:
I think there is a lot of modern CSS stuff that can't be made to look good if <div>s aren't allowed almost anywhere, so it might be good to allow more stuff in different element contents (at least in <a> but probably elsewhere as well).
Shooting for HTML5 is probably a good idea (<div> is allowed in <a> in HTML5), but I don't know how feasible it is?
