Hi, The w3c validation page http://validator.w3.org/ suffers from what I call the "linked underscore" bug. At the bottom left, between the w3c logo and the open source logo, there's a linked space. This is caused by the following code: <a href="http://www.w3.org/Status" title="W3C's Open Source, bringing you free Web quality tools and more"> <img src="http://www.w3.org/Icons/WWW/w3c_home_nb" alt="W3C" /> <img src="http://www.opensource.org/trademarks/opensource/web/opensource-55x48.jpg" alt="Open-Source" title="We are building certified Open Source/Free Software. - see www.opensource.org" /> </a> In this code, there's an EOL between the two images. This EOL is not rendered as linked (i.e. as an underscore) by IE, but is by firefox and opera. IIRC reading the specs mandates that EOL == whitespace and A ... whitespace == _ Mike -- "If I have not seen as far as others, it is because I have been standing in the footprints of giants."
