I've officially slipped into the twilight zone here. I am receiving the
weirdest JSP error (nigh the weirdest error period) of all time. I was
working on a form which uses JSP and submits it to a java bean to
process the data using jakarta struts. I tried to pull out a bit of
html controlling the border for a table, I loaded the file back up,
everything looked fine, I hit save, which uses jsp to send the info to
the java bean, and it bombed. I put the border back in, and it worked.
Keep in mind that this is pure html I'm altering, and nothing to do
with jsp. After several hours of frustration I tried replacing the
border code with the exact same number of spaces. I saved it and
everything worked fine. So I removed a space, and it worked fine. I
continued to remove spaces one space at a time until it bombed with
about half the spaces gone. I put the last space back in, and it works
fine. I looked closely at the bomb, and it bombed at the first form
element being passed, I removed it, and it bombed at the next one, and
so on and so forth. Did some one take my html and replace it with
python? Why does <table       > (7 spaces) work and <table      > (6
spaces bomb out in a jsp error?

Have any of you ever heard of anything like this???
