Extra clickable space after anchor closes

Question

With this code:

<a href="http://www.website.com/"> <mark></mark> </a>

A working example: http://jsfiddle.net/WM8A5/104/

With this piece of code an extra _ character appears. But if you use styling and take away text decoration it simply makes it invisible.
Oddly enough it only happens when there is text right after the anchor tag is closed.

Is there a way to get rid of it?

Answer 1

Remove the space between </mark> and </a>
