Question

In testing my local code, the following appears in my DOM ~2 seconds after loading:

<div style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; z-index: 2147483647;" id="_GPL_e6a00_parent_div">
  <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="_GPL_e6a00_swf" data="http://savingsslider-a.akamaihd.net/items/e6a00/storage.swf" width="1" height="1">
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent">
    <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always">
    <param name="flashvars" value="logfn=_GPL.items.e6a00.log&amp;onload=_GPL.items.e6a00.onload&amp;onerror=_GPL.items.e6a00.onerror&amp;LSOName=gpl">
  </object>
</div>

I’ve run global searches for all of the keywords in the HTML but it’s nowhere to be found in my project.

After that I tried disabling all of the external plugins I load, including Facebook’s SDK, Mixpanel, Google Analytics, but it still shows up.

What else can I do to find the culprit?

If you’re using FTP to upload your files, use an FTP client that can compare the local and remote files (my preference is FileZilla). Using this, you can find any files on the server that have been modified, and hopefully find and remove the problem.

Alternatively you could just re-upload the whole thing from your local copy.
