"page cannot be displayed" error

[Anon]

I am using PHP and the built in XML parser functions to try to read some XML files. Then, using switch statements I make those elements actual HTML tags concatinated onto one variable called $body. I then echo that variable in an included HTML document to display in the browser as a web page.

The pages I am trying to display have several links (a href= ...) and when you click on them, they sometimes work and other times I get the "page cannot be displayed" error. If I then hit refresh, the page will display.

Has anyone seen this before? Why would the page only display when I hit refresh, but not when it is linked to?

If you are using IE over a secure connection e.g. https in the url, there is a bug in IE with SSL. If you use Netscape, which I don't recommend, you should never experience this problem. A good webmaster should be able to put a small chunk of code in a e.g. httpd.conf file on the server to help eliminate this. Make sure your IE is allowing 128 bit encryption and go to tools>internet options>advanced tab> and at the bottom, make sure you have all the various SSL protocols checked. Windows 2000 doesn't automatically come with IE ready for 128 bit encryption. You have to download a small patch to upgrade it.

I hope this helps!
