I've created a cgi script using PERL in a UNIX environment. Occassionally when the script is executed usually under the Netscape browser, I'm interrupted by the pop up message "Document Contains No Data". Unfortunately, the process is still running in the background and when the user clicks the OK button, misleading information is presented to them. It usually informs the user the process didn't run, but in fact it did, and the results page is usually blank. I'm trying to figure a way programmatically to do some spot checking in the background when this pop up message occurs, however I don't know programmatically what Netscape is sending. Is there anyone out there that may know what Netscape is sending programmatically so that when I see it I can manipulate my program to do something when the message appears. Thanks Roosevelt Jackson Systems Engineer II
