this may be part of the html page... consider the following...



the background color is #000000
the document text is #00ffff
a link is #00ffff
an active (being pressed) link is #00ffff
a visited link is #00ffff

so, the links, no matter what state, are the same color as the document text...

yes, you can use the font tag to alter the color for specific sections of
text... not sure, but i believe so, that you can alter the color of
specific links...

i'm not even going to touch on CSS (cascading style sheets) other than to
say that not only can they control the font style and size but also the
color...

you could possibly use %20 in the link, too and leave the spaces...

as long as you remember that IE doesn't always follow the standards, it is
one test, yes...
