In HTML5 it is now completely valid syntax to wrap a block level element such as a "div" or "li" in an "a" (anchor) tag.

For example if I do this to make the whole "li" line clickable:

<ul>
  <a "home.html">
    <li>Home</li>
  </a>
</ul>	

In Netbeans it throws an error saying:

Element "a" not allowed as a child element of "ul" in this context.

This error is valid for HTML4 and XHTML doctypes, not HTML5 doctype. It is useful to make a whole element clickable without resorting to "cursor: pointer" and a JavaScript click event to accomplish the same thing.

Please remove this error if the HTML is in HTML5 doctype.

Thank you.
