Yes I think so. You could test if this variable is being read by that file by bunging in an echo command of some sort. If it is being transferred correctly, then the link to it is not being actioned by NetSurf - perhaps because it's a JS link? Mnn.. Dunno whether it is a Javascript link or not. Everything works OK with all the other browsers I've tried so I assume that it is something that Netsurf can't cope with. Update. I've just tried a Form using Oregano with scripting turned off and it worked OK, so it can't be a Javascript problem. It is not really a problem because I don't access any of the Forms with Netsurf and it is highly unlikely that anyone else does. :o)) Just thought the Netsurf folk would like to know. -- Barry A.
Problems with ZEN forms.
Hi Folks, I use a few webforms on my websites which are with ZEN. When a form is completed, up should come a page which says thank-you for filling in the form, but with Netsurf a page comes up which says:- Automatic form response Problem Encountered The page you sent the form from was not set up correctly. Please let the author know. The author of the page needs to include the following HTML tag within the form: lt INPUT NAME = recipient VALUE = your_email_address_here TYPE = HIDDEN gt In ZEN forms they don't need a line like the one above. They have, I think, a better method where the recipient's address is just a number. This number is used to look up the email address in an address file on the server. An example of one of my forms is at:- http://www.zen57462.zen.co.uk/nowirul/emadd/9.htm -- Barry A.

Does this work Paul. Yes, it works, but that was not what I intended to say.

Since a few days, however, I've to set a scale factor for each new page. For some reason, the newest builds don't take the default factor into account. I've just downloaded the 11 August version and it works here. It worked on the 15 July version as well. I'm running RO 4.39 Adjust on VRPC. As a check, I've tried it on my Iyonix with RO 5.11 and it works there with both versions of NetSurf which I've mentioned above. Perhaps it's something in your RO 5.13 which is causing the problem.
