Were you using javascript: URLs in the links before? Maybe using the onclick attribute is more appropriate for JavaScript-specific actions: http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/interact/scripts.html#adef-onclick Anyway, you shouldn't see this buglet any more -- if you don't have javascript you will get a nice polite message saying that the page doesn't work unless javascript is enabled. http://aaron.oirt.rutgers.edu/myapp/GenBankTree/index I still don't see why you couldn't have a non-JavaScript version. Think of all the people wanting to use Python to screen-scrape the content! ;-) Paul P.S. Although people not running JavaScript on every page by default are often criticised as being modern-day Luddites, and I too used to have JavaScript running for everything, a few annoying experiences led me to installing NoScript just to stop stupid CPU-wasting advertisements. Useful sites employing JavaScript probably suffer from the effects of such antics, unfortunately, which is one reason I advocate supporting non-JavaScript browsers. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Paul That exact application http://aaron.oirt.rutgers.edu/myapp/GenBankTree/index cannot be implemented with javascript turned off. You can implement something kinda similar... h These days I would guess you are pretty limited without javascript, no? For example I don't think the instructional support web sites at Rutgers will work properly without js. By the way tracebacks are on for debugging purposes, they can be turned off, of course. -- Aaron Watters === -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I'm getting the same as Paul in Firefox 3.5.3 with javascript
