Subject: Re: FRAMES and CGI-scripts
Dear Sofie,
I've been using cgi-script extensively on our site with frames for about=20
a month now and don't think we have had any problems. (at least I=20
haven't spotted them ... yet!)
I would be very interested to know if there were any problems in this=20
area and, more importantly, whether there was a solution. (as it looks=20
as though this may be under the control of the "client's browser =20
configuration")
In our case all the "parameters" are passed as part of the "<A HREF"=20
command.
The only problem we did get were intermittent "400 Bad Requests" (empty=20
page). This was VERY intermittent and occurred only after a "SUBMIT"=20
command (rather than the "<A HREF" command) to display a framed screen.
(eg If you were to click on "submit" when going "Direct to an=20
Advertisement" on our France "home page" - http://inter-pages.com).
No one else has ever reported this problem to me though! (They might be=20
too shy to do so, or more likely and worrying, think it is their=20
problem!)
I'd be very interested if anyone else had experienced this problem; i.e.=20
the "400 Bad Requests" from a "submit".
Regards, Richard
