It is not an HTML header that is lacking, but an HTTP header - your web browser has no idea what type of page you are sending it. At the very least, you need: -------------------------------- Content-Type: text/html -------------------------------- (not the dashed lines, but the bits in between _ a content-type header plus a new line to separate the headers from the content itself. You'll find debugging a whole lot easier if you use Firefox with an add-on like Firebug - it gives you much more information about what is going on behind the scenes. Clint
