HTML Footers and Outlook/Word 2003?

Wed May 21 18:45:31 IST 2008

Thanks, I'm afraid I'm not an HTML person so it was knocked up in an
HTML editor that obviously looked right but wasn't (weird how 5 editors
can knock out 5 different sets of HTML for something that looks so
simple!).

I've passed it through the html parser and unless someone can give me a
reason not to use it, this is what it spits out:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta name="generator" content=
"HTML Tidy for Linux/x86 (vers 11 February 2007), see www.w3.org">
<title></title>
</head>

I would suggest to close that tag by itself. So make it:
<hr />

| <font face=tahoma,arial size=2>

That is not a valid HTML tag.

I suggest you hand off the HTML code to a parser on the W3C site to
clean it up. The fact that there are plenty of errors may add to the
confusion.
