try putting "/feedback_send.php" in the form's target<form name="" method="" target="/feedback_send.php"> // of coure, keep your values for name and method properties

The only reason it would add a slash onto the end of a URL is if the original URL could not be found. Some browsers will add a slash to the end and ask again if the second one exists. That's because it is technically not valid to refer to a directory without a slash. If you have a directory called contact and you link to it like this:<a href="http://www.domain.com/contact">Technically you are asking for a file called contact, not a directory. The browser will ask for the file called contact, the server will return a 404, and the browser will ask for the directory called contact like this:<a href="http://www.domain.com/contact/">With the slash on the end the server identifies it as a directory and looks like up the index document for that directory. So leaving off the slash on your links would cause your users to send 2 requests to the server instead of one, it makes it a little slower.But the browser won't just automatically add slashes onto URLs that exist, there is either a rewrite rule doing that or the links are being written incorrectly.

Do you have an example online?

[user4fun]

well..... the error is in my include fileIf you click on contact on the top right, you will see that the new address will have a back slash, once you go to the page and try to click the same link again, the back slash will be gone. It is really freaky. It is even weired if you try to submit the contact page.http://www.i-s-a-f-e.com

Well, this is the tag on the page:<a href="http://www.i-s-a-f-e.com/contact.php/">So the tag is being written with that slash. I don't know if you have that hard-coded or if PHP is creating it, but the link itself has the slash in it.

oops, i forgot that my index page does not have the header included, but rather has its own. That is why the first time arround in the index page is has the / but once it goes to the contact pageit used the header file that has teh link without the /Thank you very much
