since i wanted to hang the demo on how to pack Params as paragraphs - also took the side adventure to show how '\r' is dealt with on mac and linux boxes - so you can clean them out of the input stream before going on. http://www.wetware.com/drieux/pbl/cgi/ParseParmsToPara.txt ciao drieux ---

It is possible that you are printing the HTML header twice, although I can't tell because we can't see the rest of your code. 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

Hi all. 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. Thanks again, Phil -Original Message- From: Scot Robnett [mailto

Hi As a developer I won't agree that IE is smart because it lets programmers ignore minor mistakes. It allows you to be a negligent programmer. Always use netscape for testing because that's the real test. Then use IE - that's what the most of the world uses after all!!! Thanks Aman - Origina
