Well, that is an answer... First, I did not realise that the image could be displayed without the HTML anchor but second, it then comes down to debugging. I cannot see the necessity of losing the HTML anchor, even if there appears to be no point in it being there. On the other, is there an attractiveness based around speeding page loading times up, but does it slow load time that much? Is there a cost elsewhere to show for it? Or does this optimize the code a little. How does this affect accessibility options? Will page readers still be able to translate into speach and/or Braille the rendered TeX image?
OK, changed the code suggested in v2 and did the job...
I must have misunderstood, I thought he was talking about the image anchors.. duh!!! Been a hectic year.. getting tired... well that is my excuse and I am sticking to it...
