hey guys, need a bit of help,  
I got some xml being read into a dynamic html text feild,  
this text creates a hyper link,

however, while the up, over, and press states all work,  
it wont actually link to a document,

anyone have any ideas?

the xml follows bellow  
\<text\>  
\<whiteHeadLine\>WHITE HEAD LINE!!\</whiteHeadLine\>  
\<newsTxt\>this is body copy this is body copythis is body copythis is body copythis is body copythis is body copy  
this is body copythis is body copythis is body copy  
this is body copythis is body copythis is body copythis is body copythis is body copy\</newsTxt\>  
\<blueHeadLine\>BLUE HEAD LINE!!!\</blueHeadLine\>  
\<a href=“[http://www.youtube.com](http://www.youtube.com)” target="\_blank"\>link like this\</a\>  
\</text\>  
\</news\>

Check the web page here, the link appears at the bottom, and has rollover, down and hit states, dictated via css
