hi, for some reason I am getting html plain text instead of a web page... of course works fine in IE, not netscape (4+) I am thinking maybe its a mime type issue due to the fact it doesn't end in html or shtml or asp or any of that garbage. Help me out here!

Thanks,
Shawn

It is probably to do with mime types. Apache or whatever web server you have needs to be told how to understand certain files - it can't guess.

I just fixed it... whew. I panicked. That was live, and I didn't even know about since I use IE exclusively (although I learned my lesson and will now test on that dinosaur browser, you get the joke)

There must have been a missing tag somewhere that opened/closed the HTML data stream vs. the processing of perl, and it just showed up as one big fat perl script.

I just copied a fresh copy of html.pl and pasted in my form modules and it worked just fine.

thanks!

You should always test on both. NN 3.5, 4.0, and 4.7, as well as MSIE 5.0 and 5.5

Each browser handles "errors" differently, and things MSIE just accepts (or actually likes) other browsers report as errors. And vice versa. Actually, when I worked with NN almost exclusively, I had a problem switching to MSIE, since there were so many "errors" in layout, it was a real problem.

I had to switch for sanity reasons. M$ made sure NN didn't work with Win95, and I had no real choice. Either keep rebooting, or switch.

I'm really looking forward to a 3rd choice.

Also, Netscape 6.0...especially if you are using CSS and javascript, since codes for this version have changed. NS6.0 now uses DOM rather than LAYERS.
