I ran into a weird HTML problem yesterday. Some of the links on a web page I maintain would not function when left-clicked. The did work if you right-clicked and opened them in a new tab/window. Same results in Firefox and IE.

Today the problem seems to have corrected itself. The only change I made was to remove some extraneous non-breaking spaces (nbsp;).

Any thoughts as to what might cause this?

In this case, the human factor seems a likely cause. Razz

Human error would be a nice explanation, but no --- This was confirmed by 2 others (not counting myself).

I will try putting spaces back in and see if I can force the problem again (but not today - making more work for myself is low on my priority list).
