Correction. The problem was *not* "%20" after-all. Here's the problem. <!--Maximum price--><option value="" selected>No limit When Arachne encounters an "empty value tag". She is placeing the 'text' into the value. The URL becomes..... "max_price=No%20limit" The correct URL is.... "max_price=" As before... I will try to fix this. I will also keep trying to fix the "%20 bug" I *do* know that such a bug exists in Arachne.... But I need URLs of sites where it causes problems. I can't fix it if I can't test it. ;-) -- Glenn http://arachne.cz/ http://www.delorie.com/listserv/mime/ http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/ http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/aqc/
