<!-- this layer will display correctly, with all positioning as in style
sheet / declaration-->
<div id="a..." >
    <div id="b..." >
        <a href="z.htm" style="text-decoration: none;">
    </div>
</div>
 
<!-- this layer will not display correctly, even though it is syntaxically
identical to the previous layer set...
All style related attributes are ignored-->        
<div id="c" >
    <div id="d" >
        <a href="y.htm" style="text-decoration: none;">
