Paragraph tags inside anchor tags

Another way to show link

[Adam5000]

In an effort to make the size of the links look bigger on the screen, I put paragraph inside the anchor tags and used an inline style sheet like so.

<a href="page_two.htm"><p style="font-size: 20pt">Page two</p></a>

It works and looks good on the screen with both MSIE and Netscape, but when the validator saw the <p></p> tags between the <a></a> tags it black flagged them.

Is there another way to do this that will validate?

If all you need is larger text, you can just put the style attribute in the anchor tag.

<a href="page_two.htm" style="font-size: 20pt;">Page two</a>

Also note, "pt" is a print unit, and not really a screen unit.

Thank you Tedster and everyone else who helped.

Now I can concentrate on the content.

Congratulations! However, you shouldn't really be using HTML 4.0 - HTML 4.01 is the latest HTML version which includes fixes for several errors in the original 4.0 specification. See the following thread to help you choose a better doctype:
