Hello:

Usually I don't have problems using Arachne on search pages on
web pages, except when the page is very badly infested with
JavaScript.  Today I encountered a problem I don't understand.

At the search page named below I recently used Arachne to conduct
a search for Washington Hospital Center of Washington DC.  All
I got for a result was an error page saying I should try again
using an entry for the STATE field.  I tried this several times,
each time making sure that I selected D.C. as the entry for the
STATE field.  Every time I got the same error.  In using Lynx386
for DOS I got about a dozen good results, with complete addresses
and department numbers and phone numbers for all.  Does anybody
have any idea why Arachne has a problem with this page?

BTW, I have discovered that there is some JavaScript at the site.
When I do F6 to view source and then press F7 and enter a search
term for "java", Arachne will lock up tight.  This happened to me
twice.  I had to do a cold re-boot each time.

The site works fine with Lynx386.  Like Arachne, Lynx386 isn't
JavaScript capable either.
