I've heard of a problem with NS 4.x screwing up CR/LF also.If you don't want to wait for Netscape to clean up Communicator, you can do a workaround (it's not pretty). Change your 'long' URL links to form method=POST. That should get around any length problems you encounter.I'm guessing Netscape probably truncates at around 80 characters, instead of 255 like earlier browsers.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
