Re: Submitting forms in netscape

That's usually a configuration problem with the script.  If it's
Perl, make sure it's sending a content-type header of text/html in
advance of the first line of output.  It can also happen if you
redirect to an unrecognized file type, although NN is usually
pretty good about obeying mime types.  If you're not telling the
browser what to expect, though, and it has no other instructions,
it'll usually respond with a download prompt.

Hi,

I am a longtime lurker here.

I have an issue with one of my sites that is leaving me
dumbfounded. Go to
http://64.225.78.242 . the search box on the right works fine in
IE, but
when I try NS 4.7, I am prompted to save the cgi locally.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

dc
