Re: FRAMES and CGI-scripts

Dear Sofie,

I've been using cgi-script extensively on our site with frames for about 
a month now and don't think we have had any problems. (at least I 
haven't spotted them ... yet!)

I would be very interested to know if there were any problems in this 
area and, more importantly, whether there was a solution. (as it looks 
as though this may be under the control of the "client's browser  
configuration")

In our case all the "parameters" are passed as part of the "<A HREF" 
command.

The only problem we did get were intermittent "400 Bad Requests" (empty 
page). This was VERY intermittent and occurred only after a "SUBMIT" 
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 
Advertisement" on our France "home page" - http://inter-pages.com).

No one else has ever reported this problem to me though! (They might be 
too shy to do so, or more likely and worrying, think it is their 
problem!)

I'd be very interested if anyone else had experienced this problem; i.e. 
the "400 Bad Requests" from a "submit".

Regards, Richard
