What do you mean, "won't work"?

What browser are you using, and show us the code.

Details help.

I've been around the block a few times. Experience helps tremendously in figuring things like this out. I knew no other book that was still on the shelves at any place other than a used book store would teach HTML 4 in the modern XHTML world.

HTML 4 is dead, and what's more, it was dead years ago. But there are still those making every last penny off of it with "QuickStart" books and the like. Kind of like those 3 page guides to learning Visual Basic 6.
