Fratboy -
My post looked garbage because, what is happening is that there is a character that is being interpreted that is at he end of the inoperative string. I actually typed it into my post to you. It is a "<" followed by a "b" followed by a ">". What that string does is it turns on or off bold characters. So, the nonworking link had that character string concatenated to it and the working link to the Dallas theme song had it stripped off, thereby allowing the browser to correctly execute the link. The bullitin board software IHUB uses interprets HTML strings (it appears to, anyway) and so, you can actually inadvertantly send an apparently OK link but it can contain control characters that are invisible to the human eye but which get parsed when clicked on and thus, the first link failed (it contained the control character sequence for bold face characters).

Hope that makes sense.

Thats why the link failed and why my post regarding it read like I was a morn in my typing.
