Hey Gilles Sorry for the huge delay, but here is an example of the code that the noindex_start/end tags didn't work on:
<!-- ignoreThis --><span class="IndexTable"><b><a href="someLink.php" target="_top">Link address</a><br /> </b></span> <span class="IndexTable"> <a href="someLink.php" target="_top">Link address</a><br /> </span> ... skip a few ... <span class="IndexTable"> <a href="someLink.php" target="_top">Link address</a><br /> </span> <span class="IndexTable"> <a href="someLink.php" target="_top">Link address</a><br /> </span> <!-- /ignoreThis --> Sorry, but I had to strip out the names of the links (and urls) for security reasons. The link names (descriptions) were just text. The link addresses were one of two types (in different examples) - one was absolute from the server root; e.g. /developers/documentation/... and the other was relative, e.g. ../../images/... I initially tried using the default "<!--noindex_start-->" and "<!--noindex_end-->", but replaced them because not having a space between the dash and first comment character can cause problems with some older browsers. They didn't help anyway. What I ended up doing was putting the comments inside the link on each line. (Not a problem, because this is all dynamically generated).
