How do we resolve the situation?Hi John,There's three options:1- Tell all your users NOT to use Netscape 4.01, or ... 2- Change your WebDNA so it uses method=POST in your forms, than make sure you don't use URL's for searches, appends, deletes, or even passing variables to other templates ... unless the total number of characters is less than whatever limits the new Navigator imposes, or ... 3- Raise hell at Netscape until you get those idiots to write a browser that passes a reasonable number of characters via method=GET.And while you're at it, make them release a version that's stripped of all the crap I don't want that forces me to waste 9.5 MB of my memory to run it!1- I don't use it for email, 2- I don't use it for news, 3- I don't use it for ftp, 4- I don't need Java, and 5- I don't need JavaScript.All I want is a modern web browser without all the crap. Does anyone else have any suggestions other than Fatscape? :)Sincerely, Ken Grome WebDNA Solutions Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
