mystery text appears!

hello,

my web page looks good enough on every browser now, except that on IE a mystery "s." appears in the bottom left of the page! i can't for the life of me figure out where it's coming from. can anyone see it and identify its cause? you should be able to spot it by viewing the source code, right? if not, please let me know and i'll provide any additional code!

thank you very much.

Yes, you should be able to view it in the source code.

thank you very much.
A link to your site would be helpful as then I could view the source code. Secondly, I found using Find tool helpful in finding stray words and characters in my code.
The most likely explanation as to why IE shows the 's' and the other browsers don't, is that IE is reading the code differently, and therefore, can show the stray 's', where the other browsers are reading the code in such a way, as to jump over the 's'.
Often, in my experience, the stray character is outside of a table tag or division tag.

I hope this helps some!

thank you. i have discovered that for some reason IE was repeating the last 2 characters of the text in my content div. i still don't understand, but by putting a <br /> tag in i solved the problem.

thanks very much!

IE never was much for standards compliance. Thats only partially how they got their nickname 'idiot explorer'.

Back then - in particular, soon after 9/11 - I evidenced the natural irony of the standard python implementation, by showing it had the clear and spontaneous humor of replying : 'BUSH' when asked the convoluted question : filter(lambda W : W not in "ILLITERATE", "BULLSHIT")

Afternoon, In an earlier thread (http://tinyurl.com/5v4aa), I described a problem I was having which was rather bizarrely solved by changing the line: "inputbox.value = numq+ag-cw-cc;" to: "inputbox.value = numq+(ag)-(cw)-(cc);" This was needed in IE6 but not in any other browser I tried.

Hello Everyone: I'm having a very strange problem occurring with my Access 2000 database. I call it the "mystery record." Here's the story: I have a query by form that returns a record set in a datasheet. The user double clicks on a row in that datasheet and a main form (pop up) opens bound to a table with a continuous subform bound to a query.

Hello Access Developers, I'd like to know if it is possible to perform a count in an expression that defines a control source. My report is based on a query. In my report, I want a text box to display the number of times a certain value appears in a certain field (i.e. perform a ‘count'). I will be doing this for many values in many fields so do not wish to have scores of queries to build my report.

I've encountered a troublesome inconsistency in the C-language Perl extension I've written for CPAN (Digest::SHA). The problem involves the use of a static array within a performance-critical transform function. When compiling under gcc on my big-endian PowerPC (Mac OS X), declaring this array as "static" DECREASES the transform throughput by around 5%. However, declaring it as "static" on gcc/Linux/Intel INCREASES the throughput by...

Hi All, I have a mystery here. The title of the msgbox that appears when I use it says "GetTemps". This is not the message but the text in the colored bar on top; the title. I do know how to change it but am trying to figure out where the heck this is coming from. According to what I've read about the msgbox, it's title, if not explicitly stated, will default to the name of the project. This "GetTemps" is not the name of the form,...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
