Are you allowed to nest a link inside of a link?

by

Straight from the W3C for HTML4:

12.2.2 Nested links are illegal

Links and anchors defined by the A element must not be nested; an A element must not contain any other A elements.

Since the DTD defines the LINK element to be empty, LINK elements may not be nested either.

HTML 5

And for HTML5 it is a little different.

You cannot have Interactive Content inside an A element. Interactive Content includes anchor tags.
