Notice how the OP’s screen name doesn’t link to anything?
Notice how the OP’s screen name doesn’t link to anything on any thread? The W3C validator found 127 errors on this page but it’s too much of a mess for me to figure out why my browser is ignoring the first “A” tag but not the rest of them, the syntax appears to be the same. (I checked a page where the OP posted a follow-up, the follow-up link worked.)
BTW this is the error it finds on the links:
Line 286, Column 122: document type does not allow element “a” here; missing one of “label”, “span”, “em”, “strong”, “dfn”, “code”, “samp”, “kbd”, “var”, “cite”, “abbr”, “acronym”, “q”, “tt”, “i”, “b”, “big”, “small”, “sub”, “sup”, “bdo”, “object”, “ins”, “del” start-tag
