This only affects URL's that contain page anchors followed by CGI parameters. Example: test.tmpl#name?db=files.db. I found this using IE on PC 4.x and Mac 3.01. It seems that when the URL is requested by IE, everything after (and including) the pound sign is chopped off. Thus the browser really requests test.tmpl instead of test.tmpl#name?db-files.db. By simply removing the anchor in the URL, everything seems to work fine (i.e. change the URL to test.tmpl?db=files.db).Something you should check if you use anchors in your URL along with CGI parameters.John.
