Re: IE won't post on Windows, but will on Mac

Hi Martin, Thanks for responding. I just checked for any post variables and none were set. The problem revealed itself because I originally had: <? if ($REQUEST_METHOD=="POST") { do something } else { do something else } ?> And "do something else" was always being done. Any other thoughts? Thanks again...
