texte = Brian,Thanks so much for making me revisit this. I was aware of this problem withearlier browsers, but knew it also affected smaller pages (around 6000bytes if I remember).In addition to the post you recommended, I found this list of possible fixes:>> >> There is no fix for this bug (only Apple could possibly fix it).

But the only solution thatworked...you guessed it...was adding garbage comments to the document aswell.I owe you a beer Brian. (Ok, maybe a six pack!) Seems to be working finenow, but the aforementioned bug in OT leaves me feelingqueasy...especially since this time it bit me in the ass with no warning(it wasn't a new file on the server).Regards,Dale>Here is a possibility:> There is a well documented bug in Open Transport that can affect>WebSTAR and certain browsers.
