We don’t need no steenkin’ Refactorin’ Browsa. We got perl -i -p -e.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Dean:

Fixed the link - I had put an extra quote into the A tag, writing href=""/archives/00073.html" instead of href="/archives/00073.html".

This gave different behaviour on different browsers - worked fine on IE 5 or whatever they use at work, Konqueror ended up at the /archives, and your browser decided it was a recurseive link.

Thanks for the pointer to the ITworld article.
