This is probably the worst bug ever that I have had to deal with as a component dev. This has made me hold back some real complex containers I wanted to release. PS, the bug about this actually refers to one of my components! The user that submitted it, used a url pointing to one of my product examples. I actually found the url to the bug when I was checking my referrers on the site. :) Mike On Tue, Sep 9, 2008 at 1:10 PM, Alex Harui <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Gumbo components will probably have a different default behavior.
