Scot's right Phil, IE wasn't being 'smarter' it was being 'slacker' :-)

Thanks for the sanity check. I was printing a line of debugging before the content-type output line. Commenting that out fixed it. IE was smart enough to ignore it, while Netscape preferred to reject the page.

Exploder actually handles that situation a little more gracefully than Netscape if that is indeed your case...I can't tell based on the info provided though. Make sure that if you are using CGI.pm, you don't call something like $q->header; and then stick print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; in there too. If you post more detail it would help.

When I bring it up in IE 6 it displays beautifully, however, if I open it in Netscape 6, the cgi script runs but Netscape, instead of showing the web page, shows the text of the page (the html code) that my CGI script produced with the correct data nonetheless. I can't figure out why the discrepancy between IE and Netscape. For a little more background, I HAVE printed out the appropriate lines: ....... print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "<html>\n"; print "<head>\n"; ....... and Netscape even shows the appropriate HTML including the <html> tag. I just can't understand why Netscape won't parse my html and then display the web page. Thanks, Phil --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
