Re: What's wrong with this code?

Actually, I've found that BOTH codes work perfectly in Firefox and Opera, so
it is definetly an IE6 problem. I do not have IE7 installed on this
machine, so I cannot test with it.

Now, does anyone have a coding "fix"?

Thanks very much.

I'm going crazy over this "simple" code. Why will the top code work

as I want it to, and the lower code will not work at all, with or without
the _blank?

This works:
<a href="images/product_images/4870_lg.jpg" target="_blank" /><img
src="images/product_images/4870_t.jpg" /></a>

This doesn't:
<td><a href="images/product_images/4870_lg.jpg" /><img
src="images/product_images/4870_t.jpg" /></a></td>

The ONLY dfference between the code is that in one I am trying to make
the
link clickable inside a table cell. Is there something wrong with that?


That is not the only difference I see.

If you make them the same and go:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<p><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/sudoku";><img
src="pics/crimson.png" alt=""></a></p>
<table>
<tr>
<td><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/sudoku";><img
src="pics/crimson.png" alt=""></a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

This should make the link clickable in the cell as with the one
not in a table cell.

Ditto:

if you add target="_blank" to them both. (Validation in this case
is another matter)
