Hi,
I am having an issue with all href links, linkTo or hardcoded. All
links in my wheels application (and only those in my wheels
application) are showing the link href value in parentheses next to
the link text. I cannot figure out how to get rid of it. I am pretty
sure wheels is doing this because it appears on all browsers on
different computers.. Also, I put a test html page in my files
directory that has a link. This page does NOT show the location and I
am assuming this is because wheels does not process those pages. I
tried changing the environment to production to no avail. Has this
happened to anybody else? Any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Never has happened to me before. Can you copy and paste us a couple of your linkTo() calls and the HTML that gets output as a result?

For example.. If i put any link, not using the linkto:

<a href="http://www.google.com">Test</a>

I see rendered on the page:

Test (http://www.google.com)

Ok. NOW I must be going crazy. Check this out. Here are the facts (I
kid you not):

- I get this behavior on both my home mac AND my office pc. It
happens on the following browsers
* mac: Firefox, Opera, Camino, Safari
* pc: Firefox

- (this is where it starts to get wierd).. I does NOT happen on pc: IE

- (this is where it gets insane)... When I look at the source code
code, the link location that I see in the browser, in brackets, is
*NOT* coded on the page! Its not in the source code! How could this
be? How can it be across computers?? and across operating systems??
AND without any sort of javascript on the page to alter the url???
SOOO STRANGE!

I am totally stumped. ... The only thing I can even guess as to what
it is something to do with railo.. I just dont know.

I figured it out. Nothing to do with wheels of course... A CSS file
was causing this!.. Im using blueprint css (http://
www.blueprintcss.org/) and, for some reason, the print.css file was
causing this. .. I didn't even know that css could effect links in
such a way. It must have something to do with CSS 3. That would
explain why the link location did not show in IE !

That's actually pretty awesome. I'll have to keep that trick in mind for print style sheets in the future.
