Weird image injection when using YUI grid

Question

Hi all, I was trying to use YUI grid and i noticed something weird coming up on my webpage:

<img id="fvdkoff-target-image" style="border: medium none ; margin: 0px; position: relative; visibility: visible; color: transparent; z-index: 2147483647; left: 424px; top: 274px;" src="data:image/png;base64,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"/>

I was wondering if anyone faced this issue?

the above weird image injection kindda breaks my website's design.

Can anyone help?

Take a look at here: http://140.119.19.139/media_user/layout14/sample.html

by the way, the weird code injected doesnt show up in the source code. however, if you try to debug the page using FireBug and click on the white space below the footer, it will clearly show the injected code.

best.

Answer 1

When I inspect the page with Firebug I don't get the image. I do see the white space. Its there because reset-fonts-grid.css is setting the background of the html element to white.

If you select the html element in Firebug and toggle off the background rule in the style inspector your background behaves as expected.

As for the image, I don't know what it is, why you see it and I don't, or where it came from, but google searches on "fvdkf image" show it popping up all over the place.

As a sidenote, this post has been live for 40 minutes and its already the #4 google result.

Answer 2

I guess it could be some sort of script injection, but the 'src' attribute is an encoded string that renders as a .png file - like a little word bubble icon. try copying the value and pasting it into the address bar of your browser to take a look. Does that help?
