Sporatic Problems with Links

[Vito]

Hello!

Need some help troubleshooting this very infrequent problem. I have a
php / mysql website - www.musiciansonly.net. I've had 3-4 website
visitors tell me that they cannot see links on my search page.

The strange thing is that most people are fine. I've asked about the
browser that's being used, OS, etc.. and I know that I've tested on
those versions.

What can it be?? I've also noticed that my URL "href" gets converted
into comments <!-- ref....>. Why does that happen???

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Vito

251 validation errors, take your pick.

Your links have got a space in front of them - not a validation
error, but a clear violation of the spec which isn't helping.

Just a quick guess: Many links on your page have a bogus blank at the
beginning of the href attribute.

For example: <a href=' search.php?City =1&Loc=3'>

It should be: <a href='search.ph p?City=1&Loc=3' >

Maybe some browsers get confused by that.

Uh ... sorry, I do not understand what you mean by that.

Hello -

Thank you for the responses.

I should have given you the web page with the errors more clearly -
right now, my index page / home page works but it's the search page
with the problem so here's the URL -

http://www.musiciansonly.net/search.php?City=1&Cat=9

FYI... the URL is driven by main home page -> depends on the City /
Category / SubCategory that someone chooses via a link.

Hmmm, only 88 errors (assuming DOCTYPE is 4.01 Transitional - none
specified).

First thing you need to do is clean up your html.

Second thing you should do (if it still fails) is check an html group.
This one is for PHP.
