Does anyone know why the links in the following code show up as links in IE, but not Firefox or Netscape:

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td align="center" bgcolor="#000000"><a href="http://www.mydomain.com/link1.html">Link1</a>&nbsp; ¦&nbsp; <a href="https://www.mydomain.com/link2.html">Link2</a>&nbsp; ¦&nbsp; <a href="http://www.mydomain.com/link3.html">Link3</a>&nbsp; ¦&nbsp; <a href="https://www.mydomain.com/link4.html">Link4</a>&nbsp; ¦&nbsp; <a href="http://www.mydomain.com/link5.html">Link5</a></td>
</tr>
</table>

I'm puzzled.

Maybe your page properties are setting the link colors or something. They're most likely there but too dark to see. Do a ctrl+A to select everything and you should see if they're there.

It show up fine in all three browsers, but the links aren't linked. They're just static text. What could that be?

Maybe restart your PC. Try other pages you've made to see if they're still working for you.

Got it! I was using padding-top to move an absolutely-positioned section below the linked part, and changing that to margin-top fixed it. Thanks for your help!
