Weird links in blog posts

    Okay I am having a weird issue. I am using a brand new install of WordPress 2.3 and a theme I downloaded and hacked together. The thing is when I include a link in a post, it makes the entire line an active link well beyond the end of the word, almost like I have an open href tag, but I don’t. I have no plugins installed and it only affects this theme. You can see the path to the div in the screenshot from my FireFox bar. The CSS code for those tags are below. Any ideas?

    CSS code:

    .table_row
  {
	height: 100%;
	display: table-row;
  }

.left_content
  {
	padding-left: 45px;
	padding-right: 29px;
  }

.left
  {
	width: 550px;
	height: 100%;
	vertical-align: top;
	display: table-cell;
	text-align: justify;
  }

    The post looks like this in CODE mode of the editor:

    warnings on the <a href="https://www.us.php.net">install page</a> when it comes

    Without actually seeing the site itself (and not just a screenshot of it), we cannot help you. We need to see the HTML and the CSS code used. All of it, not just snippets.

    Post a link to the page with the problem so we can take a look for ourselves.

    Funny thing: last time I posted more than 10 lines of code I got my thread deleted by a moderator who said i can’t post that much code. I am not going to make that mistake again. See that thread here:

    I had 80 lines of code that were all relevant to the question there, and it got deleted.

    Well, we’d really prefer that you posted a link to the actual site itself, not post the code from the site. Once we see the site, we can see the code for ourselves. We don’t need to know the PHP code to solve a CSS problem, we just need to see the actual website in a browser. The HTML and CSS are then easily visible to us. Furthermore, using the web developer extension, I can solve your problem in my web browser and see the actual results in real time, then tell you exactly how to do it. Solving CSS problems is much simpler that way than trying to sort through a ton of CSS and HTML jargon manually.

    In other words, I don’t want to see your code. I want to see your site. What’s the URL of it?

    But, if you simply must post large amounts of code, do it here and then post the link to it back here:
