Ok, you want to us the information in the <B> tag to determine what link to
click.
But the <B> isn't a supported tag, so you don't know how to use it.
Is this a correct?

But the text I'm referring to isn't part of the link itself. The link
text is the same. I'm looking at the text that occurs -before- (or
possibly after) the link.
Thanks for your suggestions, but unfortunately, in this example, it
won't work.
