I got a drupal 4.7.11 ( according to the /modules/system.module )

I created a block

the Block description: Access Sacramento
The Block title: Access Sacramento

inside the block I pasted (in a real hurried rush)...


WHoopsie...

This cause a horrible loop when trying to delete the block. (note that I spent the time to make everything lower case but completely blew off the closing tags on accident!!)
Every time I would try "Confirm Delete Block"
The Delete AND OR Configure Button would load http://live.upstreamnetworks.com/15834-33555?MSWMExt=.asf
INSTEAD of actually deleting the block. HI JACK! ;o)

I finally ended up grepping through the MYSql tables for "Blocks" then found (In my case #15 with a weight of -8 and dropped it)
then I went back via Drupal/admin/blocks and deleted the block number 15. I solved the infinite loop but...
I see my mistake was I left off the

from the end of both
's .

I have since FIXED it and I now have two new working buttons for streaming CH 17 and CH 18.

Be CAREFUL!!! Or you'll need to get dirty in the MYSql tables. If you can't do that your gonna be rippin hairs out.

Dunno if this should be reported as a glitch or just a new drupal.org drupal 4.7.11 DELETE BLOCK keyword. My thought is the later unless some kind of closing tags checking logic will be built in in the future. (although it does say if you post bad php code you can break the site)

I dare you testers to load that up in a block ;o)

just kidding, have fun with it..

There ya go... Now it all makes sense

It should have been like so...

<form method="link" action="http://live.upstreamnetworks.com/15834-33555?MSWMExt=.asf"><input type="submit" value="Watch Channel 17"></form>
<br />
<form method="link" action="http://live.videossc.com:8080//asxgen/wmtencoder/CH18.wmv"><input type="submit" value="Watch Channel 18"></form>

Which actually works.
