I recently had a page that was supposed to add 1 to a value in a database every time the page loaded but I had a <img src="" alt=""> that I forgot about, so every page load 2 was added to the db value :( I went looking to see if there was anything in writing anywhere saying that's what was supposed to happen. Didn't find anything.
