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?
