Netscape

[Anon]

A small but annoying problem.

When submitting a form under windows through netscape onto a php page the browser seems to provide a prompt to 'open page' or 'save as'. When openning the page the browser fails...trying to open the page to edit? The form works perfectly under ie.

I am running PHP4+Apache+MySql.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You might want to check the MIME settings in your Netscape browser.

Other than that, we need more details. What is the browser version (IE and NS), what does the address look like that the browser is being directed to, etc?

I managed to fix it. An error on my part.

It was reading:

<form method="POST" name="tool" action="
<?
if ($tool_type == 'add')
{
echo "page_preview.php\">\n";
echo "<input type=hidden name=action
value=add>\n";
}
else
{
echo "db_editor.php\">\n";
echo "<input type=hidden name=action
value=delete>\n";
}
?>

and the source html was:

<form method="POST" name="tool" action=
"page_preview.php">

The problem arising because netscape was reading the newline after the 'action=' as a space 🙁 and ie managed to read it correctly.

Thanks for the response.

Is there any way of developing cross browser pages easily??
