Ok, I figured out a second little quirk. The other reason why my href tags wouldn't work is because when linux burns a cd with Joliet file support it truncates the file length to 8 chars so the existing href tags weren't pointing in the right direction. I shortened my directories and tags to less than 8 chars and everything works great. Internet Exploder seems to be the only one having trouble opening the files locally but I think it is a issue with permissions at the school. XP and win98 read the cd's fine now.
