I've seen this problem before and don't know exactly what the solution is. Each of your links look like this:
Code:
<style type="text/css">
< !--
.link { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; list-style-image: url(http://www.arquirednet/buscador/imagenes/menuizqsq.gif)}
.descript { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none}
.date { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 7pt; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none}
.upper { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 7pt; color: #ff8800; font-weight: bold; background-color: #000000}
-- >
</style>

<ul>
<li> <a href="http://www.arquired.net/cgi-bin/jump.cgi?ID=97" target="_blank" class="link">
Mecanoo architekten b.v. </a>
<span class="descript">- Los arquitectos holandeses de Mecanoo nos presentan su web oficial, en el que encontraremos la descripción de su obra desde 1996. En inglés y en holandés.

Is there a stylesheet in your link.html template?

I just looked at the site using Netscape Communicator v4.7 and style sheets turned on. It displayed normally to me from what I can tell. I compared it with 5-Aug-2000 and saw no difference.

Re: Problem with search results and new links In reply to
yes in my links.html template im usin a css i tried to subsititue the typical bullet that is displayed in the search results with an image and it worked fine i had no problem with that, but my problem is when i try to see the new links i get that error that happens also when i do a search with a common keyword for example if i enter:
http://www.arquired.net/...p;query=arquitectura in response my browser says INVALID ARGUMENT but if i change the url to
http://www.arquired.net/...r&query=noticias i dont have any problem.
(its the same url, i just changed the keyword)
I dont know if the problem is that there are too many search results with the keyword arquitectura or what may be causing it.

In links.def i changed the max number of link results to 100.
thanks again

That's odd. When I went to http://www.arquired.net/...p;query=arquitectura I got:
Code:
Su busqueda resulto en 2 categorias y 97 Enlaces
No INVALID ARGUMENT was returned in the browser. I had no problem with the other query either.

Since I cannot duplicate the problem, I would just be guessing. How is your Netscape configured? Maybe you are not allocating enough memory or cache space for it. Have you reloaded the screen when you got the error? Try clicking on reload while holding down the shift key (power reload) and see if that clears the error. Try shutting down your browser, restart it and try the query again. Try shutting down the entire computer, wait 30 seconds, reboot, reload the browser, and try again. If you know someone else that uses Netscape, see if they can duplicate the error.

I hope something in here helps.

[In regards to my previous post]

Using IE 5.5, I loaded up your "new" page that you linked to. It kept loading and loading and loading in loops untill I just clicked the "stop" button on my browser. When I looked at the code I got that stylesheet above every one of this links. A few minutes later, the page suddenly rendered on the screen. Again, why do you have a stylesheet in your link.html template? Doesn't it seem impracticle to repeat the same thing 150 times? Place it in your main stylesheet. As far as I can tell, the only problem with your search page is that it takes FOREVER to load because you have that stylesheet on every link.

i have removed the css and now my site works fine, but i cant span pages, if i do a search with arquitectura as keyword, i recive 100+ results, but all of them in one page, how can i span pages? in links.cfg i edited to only display 15 results per page, but it doesnot work.

THANKS AGAIN.
