That's just the problem. The value="" parameter *is* filled out (and
it is being done at the server end as evidenced by the network sniffer.)
Unfortunately, my script is not doing it. Here's what I have in the
script:
print "IP Address: ",
$cgi->textfield(-name=>'ipaddress', -size=>20, -maxlength=>20),
$cgi->p;
But yet the form is filled out when I go to it with a web browser.

I was certain that that's what it was, but it just can't be. I've even
used browsers on computers that have never been to the site before and
the data is still pre-filled out.

That's good to know. Thanks very much.

This sounds like the most likely culprit, even though I haven't
explicitly turned anything on. It's possible that I've done it
inadvertently. I'll check it out.
Thanks again for your help.
