This is probably the simplest question ever to be posted in this forum, so no prizes, but I'd really appreciate an accurate answer.

I need to slightly modify some HTML so that it becomes valid XML.

I have:

<A HREF="http://www.vb-world.net" TARGET="_BLANK"><IMG ALIGN="MIDDLE" ALT="Visual Basic World"
BORDER="0" HEIGHT="60" HSPACE="0" ID="IMAGE" LANG="JAVASCRIPT" SRC="vb-world.gif"
VSPACE="0" Width="120"></A>

Effectively: <A><IMG></A>

But, I'd like to make it: <A><IMG></IMG></A>, so that it becomes valid XML.

This can be displayed fine in a browser, but is it legal HTML?
