in reply to Netscape 4.7 and down won't run this script, IE, NS6 - works fine

Well, kids, we have a doozy here: it turns out that (according to our chums over at netcraft), we've got mod_perl going here:

The site www.swosu.edu runs Apache/1.3.12 (Unix) mod_perl/1.21 on Linux

I'm out of my depth here, but it seems to me that the problem could be in a lot of places. It at least explains why the script runs even with that odd she-bang (#!) line.

It strikes me that PerlSendHeaders might be on in mod_perl, which could help explain why the code looks the way it does.

Things I'd offer for a start: use CGI in this script, both to get the CGI variables and to spit out the HTML.

Philosophy can be made out of anything. Or less -- Jerry A. Fodor
