Weird multiple GET error

[Martin Ravell <st...@rave-tech.com.au>]

Well I finally tracked this one down.

 

There were no badly formed <IMG ..> tags but I do have to say thank you
Laurie and Wendy for the hint anyway as it pointed me in the right
direction.

 

Turns out I'd managed to put in a bogus option on a <TD> tag. What I should
have written was <TD BGCOLOR="#123456"> but what I'd written was <TD
BACKGROUND="#123456">.

 

As the browser expects an image URL in the background option it was treating
the color triplet, specifically the # at the start, as a bookmark hyperlink
instead and therefore tried to do a GET on the originating action.. 

 

Yes, I realize I should have done the table cell background color stuff in a
stylesheet. Was one of those late night couldn't be bothered type errors.
You would not believe what a complete bitch it was to track down though!

 

 

Regards

Marty
