(UPDATE: bug now fixed.)

Visit this page in IE6 on Windows.

Hover over the months down the right. (Or scroll down to the second news item, and hover over the links "posted by" and the date.)

In IE6 SP1 on Windows XP I'm getting an acronym title coming up that isn't there in the code! Well it is there in one of the articles, but never in the links.

Each time the plain links come up with a tooltip saying "European Computer Manufacturer's Association".

Note: it only seems to affect this one page.

What the.....?
