Google FAIL!
May 2, 2009
Wow, I never would have thought that I would write a title like THAT on this site. But low and behold, I did experience a brief Google FAIL.
I was checking my Gmail from within my iGoogle page, and for some reason the search bar/header appeared both at the top and where my inbox should have been. At first, I thought maybe this was some kind of refresh problem, but both search boxes were fully-functional. Weird. I'm not sure what happened, but a simple refresh fixed it - end of fail.
Note: In case you're wondering, I'm using the PHP Coder iGoogle theme.
Perhaps I spoke too soon. Maybe I should rename this post to Firefox FAIL because something similar just happened to me again while on GameFAQs.com.
One thing that's kind of interesting here is that the second (partially visible) search bar actually works. This is more than just a screen rendering error; the actual HTML was duplicated behind the scenes. Weird.
