Yes, it would appear so.

That would seem to be the case. I was posting a form using POST, and 
then upon reload, cflocating after in insert. It was a switch over 
from POST to GET that got me the 302. (Which the latest version of NN 
and IE both choked on [as they should]).

Can you (or someone, anyone) offer a way of creating a redirect that 
uses POST, rather than GET while permitting the passing of 
form.variables?

The reason I would prefer this as an option is that I've always felt 
that an app that suddenly displays a big-ass ugly URL in the middle 
of what is typically an elegant app is uncalled for. It does as well 
have a modicum of security added insofar as making the would-be 
hacker go an extra step before altering values passed between 
scripts. Internally used variables should never appear in the URL bar 
if it can be avoided.

By the way, the example script, previously posted, was hammered out 
in my emailer, to illustrate the point, rather than being the actual 
script that I am using.

Thanks
