W.masters need your help again .

I'm working on my site for quite some time .. and I can't figure out why when I load a page to view in my browser from my server the browser insert a (#) sign after my page like : contact.html# .. but not in the first time it loads the page only the second and so on. It buthers me because I think that is what cause the "The page can not be viewd" or "internet explorer could not open the page " errors. Netscape also add this (#) sign but without those errors .

Any help will be appriciated ! thx .

Not real clear on your question. The # will be ignored if it is after a link. It is doubtful that a browser will insert a # in your links. Maybe it is the program that you are using. Page can't be viewed errors are caused by a variety of reasons. It could be a cache problem with IE. It could also be a hotfix was applied or not applied or some other setting in IE.

Do you have a page that others can look at to help you with the problem?

I'm not getting the # error (# is usually for internal targets) however I do have two 404s for that top navigation.

It is usually used on FAQ pages, where you link a section from the same page. For example: http://www.tradeboss.com/default.cgi/action/faq/
Try to click on a link from the FAQ.

the # sign designates an 'anchor' in the page. that means, a link to a portion of the same page, but not some other page. if there's nothing after the # sign, that is the same as if there was no # sign. it is hardly a cause for any error by itself.
