Clicking on the first link, and then clicking on subsequent links
(any one) produces a proper UI and message display.
If you note the /ajax/, I think it's pretty clear that the intent is
for the browser to invoke java script which downloads the contents as
XML, extracts it with JavaScript to convert it into pretty DHTML
probably using the DOM API.
A user would not look at /ajax/ directly. Only the JavaScript on the
page would pull open that .xml and unpack it as DHTML.
If you look at the HTML directly, it says:
<a onclick="javascript:toggleMessage(1); return false;"
href="ajax/%3c4df6734d-0402-4c2c-8d15-d6fe14265...@mail.utexas.edu%3e">Subversion
in 2010</a>
The "href" is shown in the browser window, but HTML events normally run
the onclick= first, and the "; return false;" means that the event is
processed and will not normally be dropped down to the <a> anchor to
process the href. Therefore, the "href" is displayed on mouse over, but
not normally accessed by a JavaScript-enabled browser.
Maybe the original poster has JavaScript disabled.
