The server ignores the character and the resulting interpretation of the statement is: cart=34893402302ion=Main Entities are not supposed to be interpreted unless the string is terminated with a semi-colon, but Microsoft has their own ideas. If you've ever used this variable name in your templates and only tested with Netscape, you've probably never noticed that your site doesn't function properly when accessed using Explorer. This is not a bug in Webcat, just Explorer.Mike ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
