Hi all...

I'v done ok on my first pure html foray (no css)

Bizarre, but I remember you from before so I will let the misconception pass...

One quick question? :)

Quick answer!


On my webpage

http://www.sworde.com/index_files/RealIndex.htm

I'v placed two ads side by side.

their code is:

<!survey>
<a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-2031147-10358700";>
<IMG
src="http://www.Sworde.com/index_files/indexpage loan 204 125.JPG"
width=204 height=125 border=0>
</a>

<!loan>
<a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-2031147-10400195";>
<IMG
src="http://www.Sworde.com/index_files/indexpage survey 140 125.JPG"
width=140 height=125 border=0>
</a>

problem is on the ie browser,

A SMALL UNDERSCORE! appears BETWEEN them????

they're supposed to be touching-side by side

I'v trippled checked my code

HOW DO I GET RID OF? :)!!!

That is due to the fact that even though the browser is suppose to ignore whitespace between html elements, some do not, i.g., MSIE.

Solution: just remove the whitespace, not pretty markup but it works:

<a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-2031147-10358700";><img
src="http://www.Sworde.com/index_files/indexpage loan 204 125.JPG"
width="140" height="125" border="0"></a>

Word of warning, spaces in filenames in URLs need to be escaped

"indexpage%20loan%20204%20125.JPG"

or better yet avoid embedded spaces in names!
