L.D.,
That is a *weird* site, but then it was created by California.
Using Arachne 1.60, it overwrote the home page. Redraw (F9) got rid of the
home page. (It also overwrote the history page after I left the web and then
returned. F9 got rid of the history page.)
Clicking on page 2 not only brought up Page 1 again, but reset the "Sex"
field to "Any" (why didn't they say "either"? But, then again, it's
California, and they may have more than 2 sexes) and left the given name
fields blank. Same things happened when I clicked on "Next" instead of a
page number.

Either the string is too long on a search I'm attempting or the & is
causing problems. I don't know which.
I can get the first page of results, but trying to go to 'next' or a
numbered page results in going back to square zero.
I tried taking & out of the string; no luck.
I tried putting back just & in the string; no luck.
This isn't the only site where I can only see page one of multiple pages
of results; this is just the most recent.
Anyone interested in taking a look?
http://userdb.rootsweb.com/ca/birth/search.cgi
a valid search to try is
surname: stewart [exact]
year: 1942
gender: female
That produces 81 responses, of which only 20 can be seen.
Why? How can we fix??
