And on the non-ssl page? Everything pops right into place.Again, I tried taking the above search and running it through de-webcatting it (taking the [ out in [search and the ] at the end of the context) to see if I had a syntax error. I didn't.Again, any ideas would be great.CJF-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Christopher Feyrer http://www.foodspot.com System Administrator chris@foodspot.com PGP 6.x key available. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
