I wrote this on my webpage but it persists in underlining where I don't want underlining!
What's going on?
Here 'tis!:---------------------
<TD ALIGN=CENTER><HTML>
<head> <Title> Deck Construction 1 </TITLE> </head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
<B> <center> <font size=+3> Deck Construction 1 </font> </b> <p>
<a href="txtx035.html"><IMG SRC="img035.jpg" <p>
<font size=+1> <b> <center> This is the first stage of deck construction.
</center> </b>
<p>
<!--End Text--> <p>
<center> Use Back Button to Return </a></center>
</BODY> </HTML>
I stand a better chance of getting your answer if you send it to me at:

Thank you for any help! ---Charles Dills-------------
Full Version: undesirable underline
The closing tag for A is at the end of the document. The whole page from the start tag for A and onwards becomes a link. That's why it's underlined.
Apart from that the markup is rather messed up. Take the beginning for instance.
Nothing except a doctype can come before HTML and TD must be part of a table.

And since you're apparently on Mac, get yourself BBEdit or TextWrangler (the latter is free but quite resembles BBEdit). Then, everytime you create a new HTML page, the program inserts the basic code, such as doctype (to choose), head and body elements automatically for you.
Frederiek, couldn't you send me one of your old Macs? I've always wanted to try those editors. 
Whoops! Is this soliciting?

You are wrong. Your page is written for young people that learned the computer while eating their Pablum. But at 88, I will probably not get an answer.
I'm sorry you are not amenable to this courtesy that I asked for.
For my age I do pretty well on the computer but age 88 has certain roadblocks to full participation.
Bye, bye! ---Chas---
Dear me, I thought my answer was quite detailed but seeing it took you close to four years to come up with the above, maybe it wasn't detailed enough.
Few people email strangers just because they are asked to. I most certainly do not.
