Strange Characters Appended to every url as #cCccCc
-
Hello all, I am totally perplexed as I have never seen this happen before, and I am not really sure where to turn (Google turned up nothing useful). Every time a url is requested on one website, a strange string is automatically appended to it like: http://www.dalegroup.com/about.aspx#axzz0purapSyA[^]. At first I thought I could have accidentally made the Session cookieless, but this string is different on every page, and even when refreshing the same page. Has anyone ever seen this before, and if so how do I get rid of it? Thanks, Shawn

From my observations: I don't think there is reason to be alarmed; it is normal syntax to indicate an anchor within the page, which would cause scrolling until that anchor is visible, assuming it is defined with an <a ...> tag, which it isn't when checking the page source. It probably is used to carry your session state from one page to the next; you can delete it in the browser's address bar, but as you discovered when absent a new one gets appended. :)

I only read formatted code with indentation, so please use PRE tags for code snippets.

It turns out that a script that I added to the site previously (though I never updated the live site) is causing this to happen. The Script is from tynt.com, and it is used for tracking what content on the site users are copy/pasting. Thanks for your help, I was perplexed there for a minute as I completely forgot about implementing that script. Thanks, Shawn

No problem. BTW: are you sure you want an e-mail address as an account name, visible to everyone? you could change it in your settings page... :)

It turns out that a script from tynt is responsible for this. I completely forgot that I put the script on my site. Thanks for everything, Shawn
