I just fixed a complex page where this exact problem wasoccuring. It would display fine in IE but not in NN. I could view thesource in NN but it would not display. Saving the source to a local driveand opening the page directly in NN would give mixed results. I fixed it bycleaning up the html and elimenating all the spurrious white space andunneeded returns.I never figured out why the problem was so inconsistent. My guess is thatNN would somehow hiccup on all the white space if the page wouldn't renderin certain amount of time - it would never render when the page was sentfrom the server but would *sometimes* render when viewed locally. I know itdoesn't make alot of sense but the page serves fine now so I written it offtobrowser black magic.Marty Schmid-------------------------------------------------------------Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.To end your Mail problems go to
