Why would it do that?

    When the following is output from a var :

    '<a class="category-top" "href=/index.php?main_page=index&' . $box_categories_array[$i]['path'] . '">';
    Code (markup):
    It returns the this:

    href=/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=5"
    Code (markup):
    Note that the ending quote is there, but the beginning quote at "href" is not. The result is when you mouse over the link the ending quote is treated like part of the path in the status bar. Also, I'm sure search engines prefer it if your links are properly delimited. I know mine does. Anyone have any idea why this would happen? I do this kind of thing all the time and I've never seen this happen before. I don't know if I'm screwing up somewhere, or if it's just some strange thing in PHP.

    Put your opening quote after href=, instead of before.

    Here's another question: Why does it seem so easy to solve the really hard problems, and something so obviously simply as this I can stare at for an hour and never see it! :eek:

    Also, use &amp; in URLs:

    href="/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=5"

    I always do use &amp; and other htmlentities type stuff. I was in the middle of rewriting the links for this app and just hadn't gotten around to that yet. Anyway, Bush winning the election isn't a problem for me. I actually like freedom and I understand it, so no problem there. Not enough sleep? Blame that one on my wife. If too much SEO were the problem I'd have higher PR! No, I think the problem was definitly brain freeze, or something like that. No matter how I looked at that thing I just couldn't see that one simple little problem. Geez, what a pain!
