the url refuses to show up, even when I copy and paste it from html hints...it's a GWB conspiracy...must be.

Absensia

Almost.
You didn't include a linkname, or the closing tag, as follows:

< A HREF="http://www.whatis.com/today.htm" target="new">Linkname< /A>

(I put extra spaces in so it wouldn't "execute" and you could see it.)

Try copy-and-pasting the section in Message # 1220 except remove the space after the first angle bracket, and the space after the angle bracket in the closing tag.

Thanks Dusty..will do...wondered why there wasn't a /A but didn't have a clue.

Absensia

When you copy-and-pasted in Message # 1218 from the HTML hints page, you picked up part of the line, but not all of it.

Look back and you will see that you didn't pick up "The Mote" or the closing tag.

1225. SnowOwl - 2/20/2000 11:29:38 AM

HELP!!!!!

1226. Absensia - 2/20/2000 11:30:29 AM

Whatis

1227. SnowOwl - 2/20/2000 11:30:35 AM

Seems okay now.

1228. Absensia - 2/20/2000 11:31:54 AM

You are right, of course, Dusty...sorry to be such a dolt..couldn't close the spaces and should have started over.

Snow..you show off..hahah..looked good, until the last bit.

1229. CalGal - 2/20/2000 11:32:20 AM

Way to go, Absensia!

1230. SnowOwl - 2/20/2000 11:33:09 AM

Haha Abs, but I cheated and just cut and pasted someone else's code.

1231. Absensia - 2/20/2000 11:33:37 AM

Thanks Calgal and Dusty...couldn't see the mistakes till Dusty pointed them out...then they appeared...hmmm, still think it's a conspiracy...lol

1232. CalGal - 2/20/2000 11:33:55 AM

Snow, did you close off the first link with an </a>?

1233. Absensia - 2/20/2000 11:34:58 AM

So did I, Snow, but I still messed it up!

1234. dusty - 2/20/2000 11:35:25 AM

SnowOwl

You didn't close properly

1235. SnowOwl - 2/20/2000 11:36:02 AM

I don't think so, Cal. I think I deleted the closing when I modified the thing I copied and pasted.

1236. SnowOwl - 2/20/2000 11:37:35 AM

dusty,

I'm completely inept when it comes to this stuff.

1237. CalGal - 2/20/2000 11:43:39 AM

Snow,

Have you checked HTML hints?
