Are you sure it isn't like this (I do understand you left the ">" and "<" out)
<A HREF=Http://fillinthe.spaces.com>"This is a link"</A><Click Here>
The only thing I can imagine is that <Click Here> is the text that will
show up in the status bar when having the mouse over the link. (As a little
JavaScript also can do for you). The earlier format was, IIRC, something
like this (in AOLs browsers - not in the real world):
<A HREF=Http://fillinthe.spaces.com#"Click Here">"This is a link"</A>
Which also brakes the HTML standard.

Sorry no. But I would be suprised if it's needed.

It is? Not here ;)

No, "Click Here" becomes the text that appears after a link - however a
link without anything that one can use to "click" on isn't very usefull IMO.
(To give you a little credit Glenn, this didn't work in Netscape 3.04G or
Arachne 1.60b1 - but perhaps it will in other browsers <g>).
