I've just updated to version 10.01 PRO and am getting the following error:

Code: Select all: It appears that two (or more) consecutive forward slash characters ("//") were used in this URL where only one should have been used. This may cause problems in some browsers. Please check the link.

Here's the line that's causing the error:

Code: Select all: <a href="http://www.co.garfield.wa.us/sites/co.garfield.wa.us/files//ORD%2013868.pdf" target="_blank">Garfield County</a>

This is an XHTML strict document type (required by Google Maps API):

Code: Select all: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Seems like this is not really an error. Aren't the two forward slashes are required?

Thanks,

I would imagine the error is caused by the two slashes between "files" and "ORD%2013868.pdf"

files//ORD%2013868.pdf

Oops!!! I was focusing on the first two slashes - didn't even see the second pair!
Unfortunately that's the exact URL from the web site so I'll just ignore the error (and get new glasses!).

I suspect it is an error on their part... it seems to also work when the double slash is removed:

http://www.co.garfield.wa.us/sites/co.g ... 013868.pdf

Great! I'm going to remove the double slash - just one less error to look at!
