hyperlinks added for some reason

[RSBen]

Hello,

I've been testing my site out on my home computer - and for some
reason when viewed on that PC the main page has underlined a couple of
word combos: "label printer" and "shopping cart". You can click on
these links but they are dead ends. My office pc does not display
these links and they are not defined in my FP 2003 page. Both PC are
running I.E. 7. I've erased them and started over but they keep
showing up...strange!

Are spammers checking web pages for key words and unscrupulously
adding links? I'm just getting my FP site going and my be missing
something to guard against this.

Thanks for any and all who respond.

PS - any feedback about the site is welcomes...i (hope) i can handle
it!

Scott

I do not see those links on your home page.
It is entirely possible you have malware on your PC that is causing this to
happen to *you* when you view the page.

Looking at the code there really are links in there. Look at the code for
the header LabelData.Com - Company Profile

A snipped for the code shows the following:
<a href="http://www.labeldata.com/">

<span style="text-decoration: none"><font
color="#000000">LabelData.Com</font></span></a>

The reason you're actually not seeing these as links is the part that says
text-decoration:none. That means override the <a> tag (which is the link)
and undecorate it by removing the underline that normally defines the
hyperlink. Then the black color has been applied (the #000000 represents
black). So what it looks like is, a link was applied then the color changed
and the underline removed. You may have to look at the code for the various
<a> elements to pinpoint exactly which items are links since they appear as
the same color and style as the rest of the text.

Hi Tom and Mark,

Thanks for the quick relies. I'll check for malware on the home
computer.

I did try to find some of the <a> elements that could be causing the
problems but maybe my lack of proficiency in HTML makes it difficult
to find the culprets. I did remove the lines and re-keyed them in so
i'll check it out tonight.

Thanks again!
