® doesn't look right

[dtm32236]

Can anyone tell me why the "R" in Microban® doesn't look right on this page (http://www.foremostgroups.com/news.html)?

It's the same size as the text, and doesn't act as a superscript (if that's what they're called)...

any insight as to why this is?

Browsers can't guess which of our characters we want to be sub- or superscripts. So we need to tell it.^®

oh boy - i have mine in an anchor link:

<a href="K&amp;B/microban.html" class="in_text">Foremost Groups and Microban&reg;</a>

just a guess - but you can't do <sup> within <a>, can you?

[Jeff Mott]

You certainly can. You can put any inline element (except A itself) into an A element, and SUP happens to be an inline element.

yeah, that makes a lot of sense...

thanks a lot, i appreciate your help.

...strange that &trade; worked perfectly without <sup>...

oh well, using <sup> worked with &reg;

Still just one lil' tiny ampersand that wants to become a 'character entity' ("&" should be "&amp;"), screenshot image:
