Author Not compatable with anything!!!

The first example below doesn't work
In I.E.: The image appears but the text and image are unclickable
In Opera: Everything works as it should
In Mozilla: Everything looks as it should but isn't clickable
In the Second example it works but nothing has changed except that the
ad is different. Can anyone spot the problem.


Example One - Doesn't work:
(here is a link to the offending page)
http://www.hissandpop.com/celebriti...ie/indexb.shtml

<center><A
HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0743470230/hissandpop-20"><IMG
SRC="ads/book.jpg" border="0" width="90" height="140" alt="Angelina
Jolie's Journals" hspace="3" vspace="3"></A><br>
<img src="../../../graphics/line.jpg" width="100%" height="1"><br>
<A
HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0743470230/hissandpop-20">Angelina

Jolie's Journals</A></center>

Example Two - Does Works:
(here is a link to this page)
http://www.hissandpop.com/celebriti...ie/indexc.shtml

<center><A
HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00007EPJ6/hissandpop-20">
<IMG SRC="http://www.hissandpop.com/ads/B00007EPJ6.01.TZZZZZZZ.jpg"
width="61" height="90" border="0" alt="Segway" hspace="3"
vspace="3"></A><br>
<img src="http://www.hissandpop.com/graphics/line.jpg" width="100%"
height="1"><br>
<A
HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00007EPJ6/hissandpop-20">Segway

Human Transporter</A></center>

So what's the difference. My problem here is that I don't want an ad for
Segway. I want to change it.

You are correct, it *is* offending :-)

(this is, after all, alt.html.critique)

With that legacy code in there I would not even hazard to guess. It could be
anything. You have a few of entity problems in there, maybe one of them is
confusing the browsers error recovery. Hint, if the browser cannot find then
end of a href attribute then the element may not be a link.

Take it over to the validator at http://validator.w3.org and fix the errors
first.

Cheers
Richard.
