I am developing a complex set of web pages using a LOT of server-side ASP coding (no Javascript or VBScript). I'm well aware that IE is a lot sloppier than NS as far as handling the code, so I've spent a LOT of time cleaning up improperly nested tags, etc etc, to get it to work the same in NS as it does in IE.. All of this works fine in IE, btw.
The current problem is that I'm populating dropboxes from largish external files using ASP, but some of them will not show up in NS. The source code looks fine, as far as nested tags and other syntax, and I can even run the actual parsed out code thru the w3c validator and it will come out fine. What's REALLY weird, is that when I look at the page in NS, and don't see the dropbox, if I then immediately print that page (CtrlP), the missing dropbox is there! And this is random behavior, btw, sometimes the dropbox shows up fine :( Reloading the page does not correct the problem. And yet another one--some of the populated fields on the dropbox are college names, so there's "Texas A&M University", for example. If I run the (parsed out) source for this page thru the validator, it flags that line. If I change it to "Texas A & M University" (spaces around the amp) it doesn't flag. Clearly the ampersand must be being parsed by NS, and I won't bet my rent this isn't part of the reason I'm having problems. <sigh> I thought perhaps it was a script timeout, but I'm not getting an error, and all the entries do show up in source. The script timeout is set to 90 seconds, which *should* be OK, but we did bump it to 120 secs. Does anyone have any suggestions?
