Don't ask me why stupid IE was choking on the idea that a PDF file was maybe dated, but it was. Sigh. Ask Bill. Anyway, take a look at the *HEADERS* that are coming out under the two different situations, and see what you see... One way to see the headers is to do: telnet the-local-guide.com 80 GET /index.php HTTP/1.0 Host: the-local-guide.com [Hit "return" twice after that last line] This is a crude way to "fake out" a web-server into thinking you're a browser. Won't do Cookies or authentication or anything fancy like that, but it's a start. Also, I dunno what an iframe is, but that sounds suspect. I'm a Luddite. I don't use HTML that doesn't work reliably on 3.0 browsers. No DHTML/layers, no CSS -- I've seen too many broken CSS sites to believe in it. Show me a CSS site, and I'll show you unreadable text and INPUT boxes I can't read what the hell I'm typing on my Mac IE 4.01 browser. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
