newbie xml shapes question

I can't make head nor tail of this site

[Kenton]

Hello, please bare with me on this one, I have no idea about xml.

I have a site that wants to exchange links with me and I think it's xml.

I want to check that they have put up a legitimate link to our site but I can't understand their page's code.

At the point where my link logo appears this is what it says...

 <tr>
 <td width=275 height=166 style='vertical-align:top'><![endif]>
 <div v:shape="_x0000_s1599" style='padding:2.85pt 2.85pt 2.85pt 2.85pt'
 class=shape>
 <p class=MsoAccentText><span style='language:EN'>Web site or page name 2</span></p>
 <p class=MsoBodyText3><span style='language:EN'>Select the Web site or page name above and link it to a Web address (URL). Describe the site and explain why the site is useful to your reader.</span></p>
 <p class=MsoBodyText3><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS";color:white;
 language:EN'>MY COMPANY NAME</span></p>
 <p class=MsoBodyText3><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS";color:white;
 language:EN'>WHAT MY COMPANY DOES</span></p>
 </div>
 <![if!vml]></td>
 </tr>

then further down the page it says:

<v:rect
 id="_x0000_s2412" href="http://mywebsite/" style='position:absolute;

and then:

<a
href="http://mywebsite/"><img border=0 width=96 height=32
src=image3801.jpg v:shapes="_x0000_s2412"></a> 

All I asked for is a simple piece of html to be pasted into their site:

<a href="http://MYWEBSITE"><img src="http://MYIMAGE.jpg" width="150" height="50" border="0" alt="MY-ALT-TAG"></a>

can this be done? Or do I have to learn xml to check my reciprocal links?

Thanks
Kenton

Kenton,

It is not xml. It looks like they created their page in Microsoft Word and then saved it as html.
