Russ,
Hmmm, it works for me in FF 2.0.
If I'm looking at the right place, view source shows:
<p><a href="fit_1_1.html" target="_blank"><img
src="./images/thumbs/fit_1_1.gif" alt="image of the landing" width="150"
height="216" border="0" /></a></p>
I notice that this is the only place on the page where there is only one
leading period in the src= value. In other places there are either no
leading periods or two. This could end up pointing to the wrong
directory. See http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1808.txt, section 4 if you
are having trouble sleeping.
Also, though I doubt it's related, the validator reports that, for
XHTML, the target= and border= attributes are not part of the
specification (and hence should be ignored by compliant browsers).
Regards,
Chris Beall
