Actually, if you're not going to link to anything, then you shouldn't be
using a link.  Rather than have an empty link, you'd be better linking to a
document of some sort.  Perhaps you can link to the first item in the child
list?

Actually, Mozilla is the one that gets this wrong, not IE.

See above for the correct way to address this issue.
