I've run into a bug where my website will not allow a user to click a valid hyperlink from a microsoft word document (2010, 2013 tested) and correctly go to the website.
The website is using MVC architectural patterns, so any action such as index, help, etc do not work.
Has anyone ran into this issue, if so, how was it resolved? I can't seem to find any other issues like this being listed.
It would be helpful to see the exact error message - was it "invalid browser error"? Errors like that are usually related to an issue with Internet Explorer trying and failing to handle the URL, even though it may not be your default browser.
See here and here.

I'm running Firefox 36.0.4 on Windows 7 32-bit. I've diabled all add-ons, extensions and user scripts before retesting this.
I'd like to step through JavaScript code that is served up in a <script> tag in the HTML document being produced by a Java (Tomcat) web server.
Unfortunately, when I select the HTML document under Debugger > Sources, the source of the page returns to the login page of the application - it appears that session information is not being used to request the source.
I stepped through the server-side code and found that the correct session cookie values were being sent for the real page request and some AJAX requests sent by the page. However, when I tried to load the page source in the JavaScript debugger, I found that an incorrect session cookie was being sent by the JavaScript debugger.
I can replicate this behaviour in other webapps, not just my own. For example, Stack Overflow:
Is this a configuration issue, or a bug in the Firefox Developer Tools?
I can't reproduce your problem using StackOverflow as an example, at least in Firefox Developer Edition ( currently version 38 ):
One thing that might help - try disabling the cache while the toolbox is open - this setting is in the developer tools setting panel ( click on the 'gear' icon at the top right of the toolbox ):
After reviewing canuckistani's answer, I downloaded Firefox Developer Edition. Seemingly, the problem was fixed.
Five minutes in, I became sick of being asked whether to remember passwords and having to manually clear session cookies (I prefer being able to do it by simply closing the browser) - it makes testing easier.
As per usual, I went to Options > Privacy > History to disable this behaviour, by setting the value to Never remember history.
Changing this setting requires the browser to restart. However, upon restarting, I once again saw the same erroneous behaviour - the wrong session cookie was being sent to the web application again.
The workaround here is to not use the Never remember history setting. I have filed a bug report at Mozilla.org Bugzilla.
There is something very weird happening on a website I'm working with. When I do a research on Google about a product of the website, the return result is a page that doesn't exist but it doesn't return a 404 error.
The "page.html" does exist, but it is not on the path that Google found, the URL is somehow being created out of nowhere, and since it is inside Joomla, it is causing some visual errors.
I've done some research, and a-lot of people have this kind of error, but normally the page is a 404 or a duplicated version. In my case, the page opens normally, the only thing is that the "page.html" is somehow being put on a path that is not correct. I've already checked inside the folders and there is not a duplicated page inside them.
What could be happening?
If this is a website you host, you can mark the page as a nofollow. If not, Google Search has a beta feature called "About this Result" in which you can leave feedback telling Google the page does not exist. Also, if you reach a 404 page, Web Crawlers will find it on their own eventually.
This probably isn't the best place to post this question. I can't find any way of contacting the Grails.org web site maintainers. I've looked all over the web site and in "Community" but can't find what looks like the right thing. Can someone point me in the right directions please?
My problem is that the presentation for 1) What is Grails on https://grails.org/learn just results in an empty pop-up box. This happens on both Chrome and Firefox.
Thanks in advance.
Issues for the website can be filed at http://jira.grails.org/browse/WEBSITE
That is a flash presentation and the url you have opened uses SSL (secured channel) as a result it tries to block the flash content as unauthorized script.
In Chrome, make sure you load the script as an unsafe script (from the address bar) and you should be able to see the presentation. Same would be applicable for Firefox.
I have a new SharePoint server which I've attached a content database to. The new server is configured like the old one (same deployed solutions, settings, etc) and there was no errors when we attached the content database (which is a copy of the old server's content database).
At first, it looked fine, the site on the new server was working. But then we discovered that som sites couldn't be reached, when we try, we'll get a "404 File not found" error. The strange thing is that we can clearly see the sites in Manage Content Structure but when we try to open them, we get errors.
The error only occurs for a site called "Webbplatser" and all of it's subsites. The other sites, like Sök is working just fine. I can browse all the sites under "Webbplatser" without any problem from "Manage Content and Structure". I can see the default.aspx page for all the sites but when I try to open any of them, I'll get the 404 File not found error.
Anyone recognise this error? We are using Sharepoint 2007. Please help.
Sounds like there could be some site solution missing, perhaps even custom master pages or page layouts that were added in the 12 hive on which the Webbplatser site is reliant.
Use the the url of the webbplatser site and tack on the _layouts/settings.aspx to see if you can get to the site settings and see what is set up there. Failing that I'd do a directory tree compare between your old server and the new one, focusing on the 12 hive.
This is wierd.
First, I'm building a site based on someone else's framework (Piers Lawson: Creating a RESTful Web Service using MVC ), so I'm not entirely sure what's going on under the covers. But when I run it in VS 2010 by pressing F5, it brings up the Home page, and THEN traps an error in Application_Error. The error is "File does not exist" exception. But I have no idea what file it's looking for. Where does flow control go after the View is finished displaying? How can I break to find out what it's looking for?
The error could be any other file reference in the page (Css, javascript or images).
Let VS to continue without halting and use FireBug to spot the file that is missing.
