Some web browsers (notably IE) will still work with incorrect headers in situations like this, which is why your college's IT department probably hasn't had enough complaints to fix it if it is their perl code sending incorrect HTTP headers to you. I've run into similar issues with my own CGI scripts :-). Here's a few things to try: Try clearing FF's cache, then reload the page and see if it works. I've heard that bad headers can get cached even if the problem no longer exists. Try the same version of Firefox on Windows if you can, and see what happens. If you get a similar result, its most certainly on the college's end. -Elijah http://elijahr.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
