OT - Beware of Firefox + HTML Validator Extension
I thought I should share this with any web-app developers on this list. I recently installed the HTML Validator extension in Firefox. This caused me no-end of troubles because HTML Validator (on Windows XP) was firing off rogue secondary requests (!) whenever I was selecting any of my form submit buttons. Then I read this blog entry, and realised who the culprit was: http://ronin.keyboardsamurais.de/evil_firefox_extensions.html I uninstalled the HTML Validator extension and everything was fine again. Kudos to the LiveHTTPHeaders extension which showed the double requests being generated - though at first it made me think I had a faulty mouse! http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/ HTH somebody who may be pulling their hair out.

Validator 0.5.5 doesn't have this bug anymore (Re: OT - Beware of Firefox + HTML Validator Extension)
Good point, I stumbled upon this, too. Thinking this was a Firefox bug, I even filed a bug report against it. Note: The latest version of HTML Validator (0.5.5) fixed this bug. At least no more problems in my case. greetings, Christoph Harry Mantheakis wrote: I thought I should share this with any web-app developers on this list.

I googled the problem and found a post stating that some of the contributing developers weren't developing on a fresh image and were inposing specific file permissions on those who downloaded firefox. Does this make sense? I just left it at that and continued to use an older version. Phil - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
