Nevermind, found the problem:
echo "<li><a style='font-family: Arial;font-size: .75em' href='[color=blue]
> {$_item['LINK']}' title='{$_item['TITLE']}'>" .
> "{$_item['TITLE']}</a></li>\n";[/color]
The single apostrophe after the href was actually not an apostrophe, I could
see the difference in dreamweaver. It must be a character issue when I
copied the code.
thanks for any help.
