Hi Luc (et al),

Thank you for your kind reply.  That is an exciting example and one I
will definitely use in an upcoming project! (ty again!)

I fear I wasn't explaining my current issue well enough, however.

My original markup looked like this:
====================================

<div class="prodbox2">
	<a
href="http://www.cprtools.net/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=3&amp;products_id=21">
		<img class="left" src="/localfeed/images/2plattercomb.narrow.68x100.gif"  width="68" height="100"
alt="CPR Tools PC01 Head Comb " />

	
		<p class="left">
			Model PC01
		
		</p>
		<p>
			Designed for dual platter drives with 0.050&quot; thick platters and a 0.220&quot; thick spacer


		</p>
	</a>


</div><!-- prodbox -->
====================================

which will not validate as XHTML.  It does, however, give the associated :hover effect on the
related text (both <p> elements) when the graphic or either <p> elements is hovered over.  That's
the desired effect.

I've replaced that with the following to pass XHTML validation.  My question should have been, in
retrospect, is there a way to accomplish this and still be validatable?

Thanks again and best regards,
~Ray
