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 ? > > 3) for goodness sake, convince your 'friend' to consider using cgi.pm. > chances are you'll find it easier to get help if the code is > somewhat up-to-date. 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.
