Here's the address: http://web.softouch.on.ca/mycd.pl Where NS seems to break down is doing either a 'View By' or 'View Tracks'. In 'View By', you get to look for an Artist, Title, or Track. Sometimes it will come up with the result, other times only a partial page. But like I said in the above post, if you view the source code, the HTML is mostly there. Now the twist. Do the same thing again - just hit the back button and choose 'Find It' again. Again, it will either show a complete page, or a partial one. But another 'view source' reveals that it has stopped again - but NOT AT THE SAME PLACE AS THE PREVIOUS request! I've done this up to about 10 times and each time get a different amount of HTML showing up. Of course the whole page is not appearing because it hasn't got to the closing /table tag. But why isn't the whole page being received? This is what boggles me. And besides, if it was an HTML issue, why does the script work fine on my home computer, as I also mentioned in the above post. In 'View Tracks' you get the same behaviour. I'm only posting here because of the MySQL factor. I've been using NS myself for years and know of it's flaky behaviour with tables and style sheets. I'm thinking my ISP may have some initial timing variables for MySQL set too low? -- Amer Neely [EMAIL PROTECTED] Softouch Information Services: www.softouch.on.ca/ Perl / CGI programming for shopping carts, data entry forms.
