Stephen, Yes, I have seen this before as well when doing CGI programming. The interesting thing here is that the transaction is processed sucessfully.
The logic flow in the last page is something like: 1) do sanity check on POST'ed data and data within the $Session and trigger error if anything looks weird 2) Process the transaction - may take up to 30 seconds 3) Send out an email with transaction details 4) Commence with the ASP page which is to display a message indicating success When the thing fails, 1,2,and 3 are sucessfully executed. The transaction works and I get an email. I never see output in the browser. If you click submit again on the previous page, it processes another transaction, and will more than likely than likely display the confirmation information (but has processed two transactions). If this was restricted to IE I would suspect SSL problems, but I am seeing this with both IE and NS 4 (and I think NS 6).
