Re: Help!!!! Purchases not going through! FIXED!

This WebDNA talk-list message is from

It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 15609
interpreted = N
texte = Keep the form method as POST (there are other possible problems using GET). The problem is that Netscape adds an extra carriage return to the beginning of the parameter list. Thus the name of the first variable begins with a carriage return. Since the first variable is often db the name becomes db. As far as WebCatalog is concerned that is a different variable and thus it can't find db. The best solution is to do what I said to do in my last POST (I even tried it on your site and it worked fine). The problem is with the browser. I hope this helps.JOhn.>Hello all, > >Well Dalle seems to have hit it. I didn't think about it being a browser >problem.
