Jimmy, This is a very common problem. You need to check the headers that your CGI script is sending (or you could send us the relevant code sample and we'll check 'em for you :). Newer versions of IE ignore the Content-type header and, instead, examine the beginning of the body of the document that is sent. Then IE renders the document based upon its interpretation of what the document *should* be. Not only is this another violation of specifications, it's harmful to developers because it causes weird errors like you're seeing above. Quite often, a developer's code will not work on non-IE browsers because of this. The odds are, you are accidentally sending a "Content-type: text/plain\n\n" header or you have an error in the header syntax that Netscape is not recognizing.
