texte = Ken:Thanks for your insightful input. I am using tags, for no cache, so that could be the problem, but I was under the impression that meta tags did work well with IE on SSL encrypted pages (and the problem pages are SSL encoded). Reviewing your three reasons for seeing raw webdna appear, I'm stumped. Unfortunately, it appears that there is a FOURTH reason for this to happen, since none of the below reasons apply. The involved pages are SSL pages and are being accessed via a specific path from the root of the server (instead of the domain name), so it's not a file:// . The webserver seems to be set up correctly since this doesn't happen with the tearoom demo on the same server (although that's not SSL) and the SSL is part of the server (Webstar 4.1). And there are no raw contexts on the page. I did create a verification page between invoice and thankyou, but the problem preceded that change.Again, so far I've not noticed this except with Mac IE 4.5.1. The involved page is the invoice page and verification page. I suspose it could have something to do with SSL??If you or anyone is willing to take a look, the site is at http://www.beyondsavings.com.the direct url to the store is It's a pretty simple site (was built to handle a lot of product, but they only have one currently) so you can run through it quickly.Things work fine until you attempt to back up AFTER submitting the invoice page (such as if you make an error).Thanks for any insights or input.All the best,Reg Harris----------------------------Elegantly put by Kenneth Grome:>In other words, if you *EVER* see raw (uninterpreted) webdna tags in >your browser, it is never the browser's fault, it is always the >result of one of three possible situations: > >1- You are viewing the page via file:// instead of http:// (common >newbee error). > >2- The page you are viewing was never processed by webcatalog on the >server (improper server configuration). > >3- You used a [raw] context improperly in the webdna template the >page comes from (bad webdna coding technique).------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
