html design problem in articles

Hi folks -- in general I like the new look, except for one very annoying problem that is already grating on me BAD. When I am reading an article, I see that if I click ANYWHERE within the article's text, the entire article serves as a link to its higher-level directory. For example, if I am reading a product review of a specific product, accidentally clicking anywhere on the review (NOT a specific link) causes me to go to the Product Review listing page. This makes copying text for my notes all but impossible. I have to be careful not to click by mistake or it takes me to another page. VERY annoying.

I don't think you are providing any service with this "feature." Could you please turn this off? If I want to go to the higher-level listing page, I can just click on its link up at the top of the article. Thank you!

There most be some problem with the html - it is not supposed to work like that.

Which browser are you using? I tried both IE and NE on Win, and neither behaves that way. Will try on the Mac tomorrow.

Yep...it's a mac problem.

You have some funny html in the head class definition:

<a class="headline" href='/'>
<font face="verdana, arial" size="1" color='#000000'>visorcentral.com</a> >><a class="headline" href='/content/Stories/index.htm'>
<font face="verdana, arial" size="1" color='#000000'>Stories</a> >>

Some double-closing tags...that may be the problem...

Fixed...

I had to close the </font> tag before I closed to the </a> tag for it to work.

Let me know if you come across it anywhere else.

Thanks,

Since you already have a class for those links why don't you just define the font there? (in the CSS)

^bump^

Sorry. The funky stuff is happening again. Maybe it's been happening all along and I accidentally clicked within an article again, but I experience it with the article at http://visorcentral.com/content/Pro...tsheet-388.htm.

Thank you.
