SYMPTOMS
When you click a link on a Web page, nothing may happen. You may also notice that the mouse pointer does not change as it hovers over the link.



CAUSE
Web pages use Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) to mark tags and links to other Web pages or other sections within the same page. The  and  tags are used to mark the beginning and end of a bulleted list.

The behavior described in this article can occur if only a comment is placed between the  and  tags above a link.

For example, the following section of sample HTML code may not work:  hyperlink However, this section of sample HTML code should work: Any text hyperlink



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain Internet Explorer 4.01. To do so, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

Additional query words: activate hypertext 4.00
