Thanks, Jamie. You gave me the clue I needed. I had used style information
in the IMG tag, and that was what did it. I took that out and went back to
plain old attributes and the problem disappeared.
There is a trade-off involved, but part of what I was doing is trying to
figure out what works and what doesn't. The page will validate as XHTML 1.0
now, but I am stuck with blue borders around the images that have links.
Unless someone has a bright idea on how to get rid of them without making
Netscape put the images all in the upper left corner? Any takers one that one?
