In any case, it seems to be related to the size of the page being returned from WebCatalog through WebSTAR/SSL. I don't know the exact cut point, but one user reported that the Document contains no data error happened on any page that was between 5465 and 5599 characters (go figure). All you should need to do is pad your pages with HTML comments or something else so that the page is above around 6000 characters, and Netscape 3 should be happy.I hope this helps,Marc Eagle StarNine Technologies http://www.smithmicro.com/ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
