Try this: <FORM ACTION="wickedscript.php3" METHOD=POST> After that, if you ever need to send one of those values through an <A HREF="http://www.mysite.com/secondscript.php3?URL=$TheirURL> tag, you'll first need to make their variable URL friendly by using: $TheirURL = rawurlencode($TheirURL) This will turn their spaces and other punctuation that will screw up the browser into %20 and other URL-friendly codes. >P.D.: Another problem I had was that I couldn't make IE5 authenticate with >the normal html authentification headers (Netscape works OK).
