Why not put in the line it was asking for and see what happens? See above. That is not the way that ZEN set up their forms. The forms contain my account number and the index of the recipient in the email address file on the server. In the example below the account number is 'zen57462' and the index in the address file is '26'. An example of one of my forms is at:- I've changed the example so that the person in the last one I gave does not receive unsolicited messages. :o)) http://www.zen57462.zen.co.uk/n/contacts/contactme.htm On testing the Forms with Netsurf the contents of the Form do get to the recipients, it is just that the page the Form is supposed to link to does not appear. It is OK on every other browser I've tested. This is the line in the form which is supposed to call the link page. input type=hidden name=newpage value=http://www.broughton-park.org.uk/thanks.htm; -- Barry A.

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? I may, of course, be totally misunderstanding what you're doing!

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.

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.
