why my hyperlink tags display as plain text on the browser?

In a table structure, I add a hyperlink like this:

<table>
    <tr>
        <a href='http://www.google.com'>link</a>
    </tr>
</table>

But it display as plain text on the browser(IE or firefox) like this:

<a href='www.google.com'>link</a>

not a link point.

who can tell me the reason? thankx.

You are missing the TD element so the HTML is invalid. Pass your HTML through the HTML Validator.

Try it like this:

<table>    
    <tr>        
        <td>
            <a href="http://www.google.com">link</a>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

Two items. As treaschf noted you need to use double quotes, and for any link leaving your site you need to preface it with http://

<table>    
    <tr>        
        <td>
            <a href="http://www.google.com">link</a>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>
