[thelist] crashing code

Annie

Sorry, I seem to have hijacked your question by asking another about
IE5.01/5.5... did you solve your browser crasher?  Still intrigued
that you crashed IE but not NN!

For no particular reason to test another issue (re. that b tag
deprecated or not thread), I picked your page out of my recent docs to
insert some <b> tags into and run some validators over and while Tidy
reported nothing seriously wrong (but quietly went about making 46
corrections to your code), CSE Validator reported these errors:

The COLOR attribute is not valid for the BODY tag.
The WIDTH attribute has an invalid attribute value "323px". (Several
times)
The HEIGHT attribute has an invalid attribute value "78px".
The CELLPADDING"0" attribute is not valid for the TABLE tag.
The SIZE attribute has an invalid attribute value "11px".
Reached the end of the line before a closing quote
(line 41 <font color="#ffffff" size="11px" face="verdana, georgia,
The COLSPAN attribute is not valid for the TR tag.

plus numerous warnings about incorrectly nested tags (e.g. <ul> <li>
within <span> or <div> <tr> <td> within <font>).

If you've not got a validator, or have clunky hand-code problems, try
this combination:
