numero = 16318
interpreted = N
texte = Yes, I did also experience a similar problem with Netscape 4.x only. Older versions of Netscape and MSIE 4.0 all worked fine. However, I'm not so sure anymore the problem was only the browser, since it only occured when the site was accessed through Web*/SSL. Also I do recall a piece that came out in Macintouch a few weeks ago reporting a problem with Web*/SSL and sites that contain dynamic content. Does anybody have any further info on this?Sincerely, Jose A.
