OK, this is getting really annoying. I am modifying the BannerFolder Product to use local and remote banners. In doing so, I added a property called link_code (string), and one called local (boolean) to the Banner object. The trick is, when the banner is rendered, it looks at local; if local is true, it builds the HTMl like normal. If local is false, it simply returns the link_url field. Easy enough, and mostly works. Mostly. However, the breakage is really, really wierd. given the following: link_url: <a href="http://www.foo.com/somepage"><img src="http://www.foo.com/adimages/?image=foo1></a> local:1 I should see the contents of link_url. What I really get is: <a href="http://www.foo.com/somepage"><img src="http://www.libc.org/hbanner/http://www.foo.com/adimages/?image=foo1></a> What in the world could be causing this? I don't do _anything_ with the contents of link_code; I only return them. I could almost understand it if it put the extra "http://www.libc.org/hbanner/" in fornt of the whole thing, but not only ion the img tag. Help? Please?
