1) Please do not top post.

2) Please do not interject your question into some other thread, you
have already have a thread for this question, I am sorry that you did
not receive the answer that you wished for.

3) You example code is just horrible in so many ways. I will not just
trash it but annotate to help you out...

[1] Stop using presentational markup, if you want to change the
appearance do it in the stylesheet, if you want to emphasis a statement
then use the semantic EM or STRONG.

[2] Kill the FONT elements! Style in your stylesheets as stated in [1]

[3] Points are for printing, not for the web page which is a
presentational medium, use % or em

[4] TARGETs on A elements are for use with frames, (and please avoid
frames). Don't open links in new windows as you where told in your
original thread. I like many have modern browsers that can suppress
popups and we may wish to open your link in a new TAB. Don't force a new
window on us. Serve your visitors, not you.

[5] Not really a very descriptive link text, not as bad a 'click here'
but I would think 'Nikon I TD' would be a minimum

[6] Isn't that what the little 'X' is in the upper right-hand corner of
the window is for! Seriously, Most folks know how to close a window. As
stated before you should force a new window to begin with and a close
link cannot be done in HTML but requires JavaScript.

Take care,
