The problem is no-one seems to know what the selection > criteria is! Some people have the problem, some do not. Yeah..I did it and no '\0' was returned. Then I traced everything to find out what was happening. The final briefing: :) Netscape 6.x handles in a different way some actions. The reason that Netscape doesn't show a correct Source is because Netscape don't use the currently showed page to get the source. It does another GET to get (get-get oops :)) the source. This way the 'View Source' option do another server access and this time don't send the POST variables needed. The browser request: X.X.X.X - - [18/May/2001:13:58:44 -0300] "POST /netscape6.1.php HTTP/1.1" 200 208 "http: //server.com/netscape6.php" "Mozilla/5.0 Gecko/20010131 Netscape6/6.01" The 'View Source' request: X.X.X.X - - [18/May/2001:13:59:17 -0300] "GET /netscape6.1.php HTTP/1.1" 200 173 "-" "Mo zilla/5.0 Gecko/20010131 Netscape6/6.01" Another problem on this subject is when creating a FORM that, via a POST method will define a download. Netscape 6.x do the POST and ALSO DO A GET, so the result for the download is wrong. Netscape X.xx or IE X.xx do just one POST and then download the file. I don't know if there is a way to change this Netscape behaviour... or change everything to GET style ;) Well..I think this is the answer for that 'strange behaviou'... Thanks for everyone that helped on that...
