the "Good gravy & little fishes!" I used to use ... that got more

I don't think so on the <tr></tr> ... I generally only use a Row tab
when I want to position a bunch of stuff on a single line, and give it a
set width ... I use <tr></tr> on my newsletter page to keep the archives
nicely arranged. As time goes by, more rows will be added to that
particular table so <tr></tr> makes perfect sense.
I fail to see the purpose of using row commands when it will be a single
cell that doesn't need any particular background colors or spacing
amongst other cells in a row. Have I really missed something here?
BRB -- I'll go change code so all font stuff is within the active area
and see what happens. [And I figured that </font> wasn't that required
because the page was working fine except for the lack of underline.]

If you stop and think about it, you'd realize that using </font> after
the first line not only sends font size back to default, but also sends
font *color* back to default. I want all three lines yellow, not just
the first one. The </font> on the 2nd & 3rd lines were OK because they
canceled the <font> nearest to them -- the ones with only size=""
Attempting to place all the font commands within the active area, in
*any* way except the following, resulted in nothing being active ..
nada, zilch, zed, zero, etc.
<!-- Begin foreign links table, bottom -->
<body link="990033">
<table width=90% border="0" align="center">
<td align="center">
<a href="http://born123.homestead.com">
<font size="2" color="#990033">B'Parents -- Consider Also Joining<br>
<font size="3"><b>B.O.R.N.</b></font><br>
<font size="2">Birthparents for Open Records Now</a></font>
<br>
</font> <!-- This final </font> cancels the first font tab & gives
default color back -->
</center>
</td>
</table>
<br>
<!-- End foreign links table, bottom -->
I had not realized that I could place font codes between the href area
and text I wanted to show. Now that I know that, it seems that all
works well with all three lines both active and underlined. But I am
*also* going to remember that trick [front command outside active area]
for cases where I don't want everything underlined even if it is active.
<G> The strange thing is that putting in the <font> tab there makes
*perfect* sense when the code is written out as above. OOoops!!
Now I have a question -- I don't have time to check it out myself ...
sorry. Since it is possible to use the <tr></tr> tabs to set bgcolor
etc., can the Row command be used to set the *entire* contents of that
row as active??? Something to think about ... possible "mapping" in
frames???
l.d.
