I can't see why this would be. Needless to say I don't want the yellow
border (I do have hover set to turn the background yellow on text
links in my style sheet btw - xyz.css)
It doesn't do this on any other icon link either. And it doesn't do it
in Dreamweaver or Homesite either. Is there something so obvious I'm
missing it?

remove the white space at the end of the line, like so:
border="0"></a>
this is also bad:
<td colspan="4">
<h6>Useful stuff I've learned about ...</h6>
</td>
use:
<td colspan="4"><h6>Useful stuff I've learned about ...</h6></td>

I do this "trick" purposely - lol.
You have whitespace between the IMG and the </a>:
<a href="poetry2.html"><img src="hand.gif" alt="go to my stories"
width="56" height="42" border="0" />
</a>
To get rid of it,
<a href="poetry2.html"><img src="hand.gif" alt="go to my stories"
width="56" height="42" border="0" /></a>
There!

The obvious answer is the space between "> </A>" in the line
href="http://www.andytrigg.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/xyz/poetry2.html"><IMG
height=42 alt="go to my stories" src="xyz home_files/hand.gif" width=56
border=0> </A>
The less obvious is why does it not show up in Homesite. It was not until I ran your code
through "CSE Html Validator" that an exception in the very beginning of you code was
revealed. The lines :
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3c.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">
<!-- saved from url=(0055)http://www.andytrigg.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/xyz/home.html -->
If replaced with :
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
Now this will show the error in Homesite. Seems to be a very obscure problem.

Thanks for all the replies. I can't understand why Homesite 5 and
Dreamweaver 4 both validate the page ok and show no errors.
All software is flawed. Starting with that premise, things get easier. :)
