I have 6 links. Three on the left, an image in the middle, and three on the right. In NS4, the three images on the left give me the hand symbol when I mouseover. The three on the right do not. Exact same code, here it is:

<tr>
<td width=&quot;115&quot; valign=&quot;middle&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; class=&quot;topnav&quot;><a href=&quot; class=&quot;topnav&quot;>harvard home</a></td>

<td width=&quot;135&quot; height=&quot;84&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; rowspan=&quot;3&quot; class=&quot;topnav&quot;><img src=&quot;test3.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; vspace=&quot;0&quot; hspace=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /></td>

// THIS LINK DOES NOT WORK !!!
<td width=&quot;125&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; valign=&quot;middle&quot; class=&quot;topnav&quot;><a href=&quot; class=&quot;topnav&quot;>administration</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width=&quot;115&quot; class=&quot;topnav&quot;><a href=&quot; class=&quot;topnav&quot;>hls home</a></td>

// THIS LINK DOES NOT WORK!!!
<td width=&quot;125&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; class=&quot;topnav&quot;><a href=&quot; class=&quot;topnav&quot;>faculty</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width=&quot;115&quot; class=&quot;topnav&quot;><a href=&quot; class=&quot;topnav&quot;>students</a></td>

// THIS LINK DOES NOT WORK !!!
<td width=&quot;125&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; class=&quot;topnav&quot;><a href=&quot; class=&quot;topnav&quot;>blackboard</a></td>
</tr>

Sorry for the mess but this is maddening. Any help and suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!

Just out of curiousity why do you have: class=&quot;topnav&quot; in both the <td> and the <a href> tags?? Isn't it only supposed to be in the <a href> tags??
<td width=&quot;115&quot; valign=&quot;middle&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; class=&quot;topnav&quot;><a href=&quot; class=&quot;topnav&quot;>harvard home</a></td> I have not failed; I merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...

Hi Chrischo,

I just created html page with your code and it works fine, all 6 links are OK! I don't know what problem do you have...
I have only one comment:
[tt].../alumni&quot;; class=&quot;...[/tt]
semicolon (;) should not be inside <A> tag.

For me it works also in NN4.7
Can't find what your problem could be?
Maybe your complete code is different. We don't see your <table> tages. Netscape won't forgive you if you forget end-tags like </tr>, </table> so maybe you can take a look in the rest of your code for that.

The semicolon is generated by the tek-tips site. If you post a link (and I thought also an URL, but I'm not 100% sure about that) the tek-tips site generates a semicolon.

Hope this help you guys (I assume),

Thanks for the responses! I do think the problem lies within the table but not sure why. Here is the complete code:

As one of the guys already said, just clean-up the code, remove the &quot;class=&quot; from the cell. Perhaps this is causing some confusion for your browser(??).
And double check that semi colon ; is not in your original code.

I have taken out the extra class but still no effect. I have tried to rearrange the tables, which seems to be working. Problem is that the table is broken in NS. Still looking for ideas...

Hey, I see a few things wrong with the code:

1... You did not end one of the <script> tags... <script language=&quot;javascript&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;date.js&quot;></script>
<script language=&quot;javascript&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;>
<!--
function writeDate() {}
// -->
</script>

2... I know that DreamWeaver accepts XML coding but for some reason in my DW4, the following code lights up in yellow (which typicaly means that something is not right):

<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN&quot; &quot;<html lang=&quot;en&quot;>
<head>
<title>Harvard Law School Faculty Template</title>
<meta name=&quot;author&quot; content=&quot;(none)&quot; />
<meta name=&quot;keywords&quot; content=&quot;Harvard Law School, The Harvard Law School Home Page, Harvard Law School, HLS, Home, Faculty&quot; />
<meta name=&quot;creation_date&quot; content=&quot;01/14/2002&quot; />
<meta name=&quot;expiration_date&quot; content=&quot;(none)&quot; />
<meta name=&quot;maintained_by&quot; content=&quot;(none)&quot; />
<meta name=&quot;description&quot; content=&quot;The Harvard Law School Faculty Page&quot; />
<link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; href=&quot;template1_NN.css&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot; />
<style type=&quot;text/css&quot;> @import url(template2.css);</style>
<script language=&quot;javascript&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;date.js&quot;>
<script language=&quot;javascript&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;>
<!--
function writeDate() {}
// -->
</script>
</head>

<body>
You might want to make sure that <?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; ?> is coded right...

3... I've never used XML so i'm not sure if this part is valid or not, but in CSS (mush to my knowledge) I know this isn't right: <style type=&quot;text/css&quot;> @import url(template2.css);</style>

4... I'm not sure why you have semi-colon before all the instances of the &quot;class=&quot;, (EX: a href=&quot;; class=&quot;topnav&quot;)

If I were you, i'd just try to redo the page, sometimes its easier that way then to debug the page... I have not failed; I merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...
