This is the correct behavior. The idea is that a page should "gracefully degrade" if an individual script block fails to successfully complete (i.e., delivering a partial page is better than an error page to a real user). This is desirable in production systems where page construction has external system dependencies (i.e., database queries, other RPC mechanisms) and if those dependencies become unresponsive or unavailable, you still want to be able to deliver a page to the client, but gracefully degrade--the portion of the page that depends on that unavailable system simply doesn't get rendered/delivered. > I'm using AOLserver/4.0.10 distribution from macports. If you can try AOLserver 4.5, the "singlescript" config parameter has been introduced, which has the side-effect of giving you the behavior you're expecting: any error on the page causes the entire page to result in an error. -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://dossy.org/ Panoptic Computer Network | http://panoptic.com/ "He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on."
