Is this >webcat or an IE problem? Either way is there a good workaround?Well John one thing that I have found that really helps is if you use a get method rather than a post methodIE
your form varialbles
Be warned that you only get 256 charictors if you do it this way so that most html generating programs will use the post method instead. I was having some greef with the reload button in my shopping cart on a Mac with explorer as well and this change seemed to fix it. Note that these same pages will work just fine if you use the post method with all the versions of netscape that I tested so that to me it looks like a bug in explorer, or a bug in your code which only reveals itself in the superior Microsoft product depending on the way you look at it.jaks------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
