I got a link the other day - when I view source this is what I see:
<div id="edn_fur356_EventView_URLBlock">
<strong>URL</strong>: <span id="edn_fur356_EventView_URL" class="dowrap">
<a href="http://www.my-site.c....com</a></span>
</div>
Now all seems well - no nofollow - but I dont like the look of "EventView_URLBlock" - and when I copied and pasted the url from the client side html view and pasted into notepad it had ? embedded in the link like this
www.?my-?site?com
Any ideas?
Another way of asking this question is - does a bot see what we see on the page or does it actually scan what the <div> tag is telling to do?
Is this a non-link?
Thanks

Looks like there's nothing wrong with it....

looks fine to me too.
Sometimes special characters (double spaces, line breaks and apostrophes being common candidates) are encoded in something proprietary or unusual and when you copy/paste from one program into another the special characters turn either invisible or into some other character - sounds like that is the cause of the question marks, but if you delete them it should all be fine.
Edit: just re-read the question - simply deleting the ?s would be fine if you were re-using the html, but this is not what you were asking - apologies for not paying proper attention :s

What does the CSS say (if anything) about the IDs edn_fur356_EventView_URLBlock and edn_fur356_EventView_URL?
