Strange <B> behaviour??

[r.j.michell]

Hi there:

Using Webinator V2.55 I've found that some query results that form part of the HTML <title> result in <B> tags being inseeted into the URL to that page:

If the query is "email" and one of the page results contains the string "email" in it's <title>, webinator seems to insert <B></B> tags around that string in the URL, so upon clicking it, it obviouisely returns a 404 error:

Error, the page: /blah/blah/<B>email</B>.html can't be found.

Does anyone know what could be causing this behaviour? I have striped ALL <b> and <B> tags from the newsearch script and it still does it!??

Cheers all.

The query highlighting in the search script highlights the title of the document, so the link will appear bold, but the actual URL in the <A HREF> should not be marked up in the stock search script.

The <mm> and </mm> tags in the search script control query highlighting. Make sure that any edits you've done to the script have not moved an <mm> *before* the <A HREF=...> tag, which would turn on highlighting in the url. Note that <mm> and </mm> do not have to balance, ie. an <mm> called earlier in the script may have turned on highlighting.

The easiest way to fix this is to put an </mm> before the <A HREF...> and an <mm> after.

Many thanks Kai, that did the job!
