Actual result: -------------- As soon as the $ie->Navigate is called, the bell clinks and IE is gone. The PHP program continues to run without error. It doesn't seem to matter what is after the javascript: It could be as simple as $nav = "javascript:alert('hi mom');"; or you could get rid of the onload part from $nav in the example I supplied. By the way, you can see that IE accepts $nav directly just fine (but get rid of the backslashes except one each before the inner single quotes, and of course remove the first " and the trailing "; - In other words, use what is printed to the CMD screen) by manually copying it in to the location bar and pressing enter yourself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31493&edit=1
