On the question of WWZD (What Would Zeldman Do) I think the answer from his code is he steers clear from it unless it is used in the right way: [url=http://www.alistapart.com/credits/]http://www.alistapart.com/credits/[/url] ___________________ Emps [url=http://www.the-emperor.org]The Emperor dot org[/url] Hint: Select part of your text before clicking a UBB button and the tags will be wrapped around it.
