RE: netscape & e-rpg problem

Hey Jim,

We've had nothing but problems with NetScape from the beginning.  I would be
sure that it has nothing to do with your CGI, especially if there is no
JavaScript.  It sounds like some kind of redirect or program call is
happening.  I initially thought that the action statement was incorrect but
then you would experience the same problems with IE.

I'm sure I'm not helping, but our solution has been to simply not support
NetScrap.  This could touch off a long debate, so let me nip it in the
bud... NetScape USED to be great.  IE used to be crap.  You can use whatever
you like, but the simple truth from a developers standpoint is that making
IE work is a lot easier than making NetScape work, and which ever you prefer
making them BOTH work simply isn't worth the hassle.
