hi,
hopefully this should be a nice easy to solve question. i have some HTML code for a website but when it is displayed the text part is highlighted in blue and underlined, like a hyperlink would be. how can i get it to just be text?
code;
<font color=0000CC>Now this is a classic! and was not easy to get a hold of</font><br>
Are you trying to figure out how to change existing link colors and get rid of the underline? You can do that with css. If you're trying to solve a html coding problem with the site, you didn't post enough code. How about a link to the site and a better idea of the problem?

ok, sry about that, i'll give you some more information. i was trying to include that heli game into my myspace. in case you don't know you can add stuff to myspace in HTML form. but i could not find a website that would give me the game code. so i kind of pieced together my own using some code i had from another game. game works fine but the problem is the text i wanted above it appears as if it were a hyperlink (pic attached).
after some further investigation i realise that some of the other code above it must be causing the problem. as if i enter the code by its self then everything is fine. so here is the entire code i have in the box;
<font color=0000CC>Ok competition time!<br>
Scoreboard;</font><br>
<font color=CC3300><i>Steven; 30,717</i></font><br>
<font color=0000CC><i>John; 30,375</i></font><br>
<font color=CC3300><i>James; 28,680</i><br>
can you do any better?</font><br>

The first half is the code for a game and some text. That appears fine. The second bit is the code for the heli game but it's text "Now this is a classic! and was not easy to get a hold of

appears as a hyperlink.

Well that code is incorrect, which is probably where the problem lies. I mean it's not valid code. You have an opening anchor tag here <a<br> which needs to be removed. That might well solve the issue. That doesn't belong there at all.
If I remember right, should read like this:
<a target="_blank" src="http://farm.addictinggames.com/D78AQSAKQLQWI9/1298.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height=300 width=400></embed><br>
ah ha! with a bit of messing around using your suggestions i managed to get it working. i changed a few things but I’m quite sure it was the removing of the <a<br> that did the trick. as i said before i have not worked with HTML before and the code i was using was copied and edited from something else. it originally had some hyperlinks and ad's with it so i removed them myself. That’s why there are strange bit's of code left over messing things up. so thanks for the help

Well I meant just removing the <a part the <br> can stay, that's a legit tag. But the <a was an incomplete tag, so it was making everything after it seem as a link.
[RESOLVED] Some HTML help please.
