Re: Phantom "m" in top left on all my pages

Is it possible that you have some leftover debugging in a model/ controller/components? Perhaps a loose character outside of your tags? Given that the "m" occurs before the doctype, it's obviously being generated in some script that has no business writing output. This looks like one of those

IFeghali, yes, removing that line got past the problem, though I hesitate to say it is fixed. Why would this date field fail validation? All of the dropdowns are set to legit values; in fact, as far as I can tell, it's *impossible* to set the field to an invalid value. This really looks like a
