I think you introduced a typo. See below.

Okay. You said that you had to type it in by hand. Take a look at the
other five entries in that section of code. Every other one says

     ... return true">Text</A ....

That is, I think you left out that " mark after the word "true". I'm
really not sure what that question mark is doing in there. Maybe you
will be able to tell better after replacing the quote mark.
