Is there some kind of order that html tags have to be in to work? I have this in my textfile:

sortMC=\<b\>\<u\>Memos\</u\>\</b\>\<br\>\<FONT COLOR=’#738DD9’\>\<a href = “[www.blahblahblah.com](http://www.blahblahblah.com)”\>\<u\>blah website\</u\>\</a\>\</FONT\>\<br\>

The underlined colored text link to “blah website” works fine as does all text coming after the last break \<br\> tag (not shown here). However the first part - \<b\>\<u\>Memos\</u\>\</b\> doesn’t work (that first \<br\> does though as I can see the breaks in between sections of text that I have set up). Is there a simple explanation for this? I have tried using \<B\> \</B\> also and still no luck.

Thanks for any help!
