This is a known bug in Netscape version 4 browsers. They will not properly display documents returned by CGIs from WebSTAR SSL if the file size is between 5649 and 5863 bytes.The work-around is to pad the form with commented html to insure that the document is outside the problem size range. Other than that, there is nothing that can really be done on the server end at this point since it's sending out the file correctly (as demonstrated by viewing with other browsers).We may be able to figure out a way to work-around this on the server end - but won't have time to look into doing so until after version 3.0 is out the door.<><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Stephanie Wright swright@smithmicro.com Technical Support & Recipes StarNine, Inc.
