If you don't tell us what you're trying to do, we can't tell you why its wrong!

I copied and pasted the text into notepad and saved it as an HTML file Oh yes and I typed
Code:
[url=http://news.com.com/MSN+fighting+Messenger+difficulties%2C+virus/2100-7349_3-5406282.html?tag=cd.top]found it[/url*]  they figured it out. 
minus the *

But thats just bb code. Your code works fine. What browser are you having problems with?

Make sure you're saving it as a .htm file

Does this actually make any difference goldfish? I'm sure I've done html files and saved them as mypage.html or whatever and they've been picked up and rendered by browsers just the same - admittedly that was a long time ago -- a very long time ago now -- but I just tested it and it seems to work with a html extension.... curious now
