    Default Strange character at the very top of page

    Hello all.

    My site is fractions away from looking incredible at the moment, thanks to the Zen-Cart team, but for some reason a strange W has popped up at the top of my page as of a few hours ago. I don't remember seeing it prior to that and I haven't made any changes to add it as far as I can see. I did recently install the lightbox contribution but I've never had any problem with it before.

    Any thoughts to its location, zen kings?

    (of course I'll be adding a 'Powered by Zen-Cart' footer later. )

    Help an old guy out. Rather than me searching everywhere for your site, how's about a URL?

    Look at the top of your index.php. You should see
    PHP Code:
    w<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <
    html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en">
    <
    head
    Delete that first "w".

    dvasdekis-

    Actually, a stray character could come from any of the files you have edited recently. Start with the most recent edits and work backwards until you find it - it could be hiding at the beginning of the file before the first <?php or after any of the ?> tags.
    Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

    Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

    It wasn't in any of the index.php files so as per Kim's advice I backtracked through every single change and still coudn't find it. After failing to display:none it in CSS I gave up and wiped the cart over. Easy populate got me going again pretty quickly.

    Thanks for the help anyway!
