Are you doing any Server.HTMLEncode or Server.URLEncode on that string?
Can we see a bit of a code sample for that part?

http://www.4security.org/store/(Empty Reference!)
by way of a file at the same level named
xt_orderform_additem.asp
instead of
http://www.4security.org/shopper_new.asp
It's pretty simple; it works in IE and Netscape 6; it throws an error in
Netscape 4.
Having looked at the source for all of the abovementioned files
(including the HTML of '(Empty Reference!)') I cannot imagine what would
be causing this problem.
The closest I have to a hypothesis is that Netscape 4 is somehow choking
on the escaped characters on the QUERY_STRING, but of course I cannot
test it because among other things the hosting ISP has played Musical
Chairs with the containing folder of the e-commerce area and the closest
analogue I can find (the one from which I've been reading source) does
not appear to be holding the live files.
Any help would be immensely appreciated, as I am looking at losing two
weeks' worth of income if not my job. [I have all sorts of wonderful
things to say about my employer. *grin*]
Please send replies offlist, as I am on digest.
TIA
