D> <a href=http://www.dataclinic.co.uk/hard-disk-failures.htm><font
D> color="#00B001"><font color=CC0033>Hard</font> <font
D> color=CC0033>disk</font> <font color=CC0033>failure</font>

D> Even if they had just used one <font>, wwwoffle would still lose out.

A> I think that this has been discussed before. The particular example
A> that you give is a good one since it includes three sets of
A> <font>...</font> tags inside the <a>...</a> tag.
A> It might be possible with CSS to "fix" this by changing the tag
A> inserted after the <a> to <span class="wwwoffle-got-link"> and setting
A> up some CSS like this:
A> span.wwwoffle-got-link
A> {
A> color: green
A> }
A> span.wwwoffle-got-link font
A> {
A> /* do something here to disable the action of the font tag. */
A> }
A> This will treat any font tags found inside the <span class="wwwoffle-got-link">
A> using the special style defined above.
A> I am not enough of a CSS expert to try getting this to work though.
Me too. Never touched the stuff. Worried that sometimes <font> is
stronger than CSS. Dropping this in the lap of the group. Over and out.
