Let me  approach , this   you didn't read my post the right way or I was not 
clear...  I  do not believe there is a problem with the code as it renders 
correctly in all browsers EXCEPT Internet Explorer, I was asking for Ideas as 
to what I was missing , The reason I posted the code was  so others would  
perhaps take a look at it and see what I could not( the many eyes concept  of 
open source code)

This was considered , however  I don't see how the server settings could 
affect ONLY Internet Explorer and not any other browser. Please enlighten me 
as to  what settings  would  cause the server to produce different  output 
from the same script on  Internet Explorer and not any other browser ?

This script is a old legacy script ,  Sure it could benefit from a re-write 
but the author is not available  .

Your missing the whole point of the post ,  I'm looking for any reason  that  
this page would render    differently  in  different browsers ,  I  already 
know the code  is not  the fault , What I don't know is  DOSE Internet 
Explorer  process any of the  HTML tags  generated by this Perl script  
differently than  any of the other well known browsers , if so what tags ?

Thanks for your attempt at help
any of you other Perl  guys want to take a crack at this question. 

Thanks 

Greg
