Thanks to your tip, here is my candidate for an XHTML-compliant LUGNET banner
anchor (hide the style declaration from Netscape 4 by including it in an
imported style sheet, margin values optional):
<style type="text/css">
img.bannerlugnet
{
border:0;
height:40px;
margin-left:value;
margin-right:value;
margin-top:value;
margin-bottom:value;
width:400px
}
</style>
<a href="http://www.lugnet.com/"
onclick="window.top.location='http://www.lugnet.com/';">
<img class="bannerlugnet"
src="Images/lugnetbanner-400x40-ltblue.gif"
alt="To www.lugnet.com"
title="To www.lugnet.com"></img></a>
