Have a look at this url in IE. and then in Mozilla. http://www.jg-27.com/jg27/forum/page.aspx?ID=3 I have traced it down to the way your are calling the IFRAME for the form pages. IE simply cannot parse the way you are calling this VAR. FormText = "<iframe id=DMGForm src=htmlform.aspx?TEXT=<form target=_top method=POST action=htmlformresults.aspx</form> frameborder=0 scrolling=no allowtransparency=true></iframe>" GRIM can you help me with this? This is definitely a bug you guys will want to correct since the Market share of IE users is higher than 75%. Thanks! Mike

I think I noticed this before when the text that is being passed into the iframe is too long for the IE query string. That is a fairly big form, so maybe this is what is happening. The form process is definitely something to be reviewed. The iframe was a quick fix to get them in there, but it is actually not a trivial thing to do with ASP.NET. Because .NET contains everything in a form element, you can't place generic client-side form elements within the aspx pages unless you put them outside of the server-side <form> tags. One thing you can do to get a quick fix is to create a custom .aspx page that looks something like this. Code: <%@ Page language="VB" %> <%@ Register TagPrefix="DMG" TagName="Settings" Src="inc_settings.ascx" %> <%@ Register TagPrefix="DMG" TagName="Header" Src="inc_header.ascx" %> <%@ Register TagPrefix="DMG" TagName="Footer" Src="inc_footer.ascx" %> <%@ Register TagPrefix="DMG" TagName="Login" Src="inc_login.ascx" %> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <DMG:Settings runat="server" /> </HEAD> <BODY> <form runat="server"> <DMG:Header id="DMGHeader" runat="server" /> <DMG:Login id="DMGLogin" ShowLogin="1" runat="server" /> </form> <form target="_top" method="POST" action="htmlformresults.aspx"> PLACE YOUR FORM CODE HERE </form> </BODY> </HTML> This will allow you to stick the form directly in the HTML of the aspx page (outside of the <form runat="server"> tag). But it still gives you the ability to send the form data to htmlformresults.aspx so it can be captured in the database.
