Try this:
--------------------------------------------------------
File: netscape6.php
<?php
echo "<HTML><BODY>\n";
echo "this is a test...this is the first part<BR>\n";
echo "this is a test...this is the second part<BR>\n";
echo "<form method=\"POST\" action=\"netscape6.1.php\"
name=\"netscape\">\n";
echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"var\" value=\"10\">\n"; // here
echo "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"go\" value=\"Test\">\n"; // and here
echo "</form>\n";
echo "</BODY></HTML>\n";
?>
--------------------------------------------------------
these quotes are the only thing I can believe Netscape might be guilty in.
Even if it was exactly Netscape's 3 HTML parser to invent a (no quotes are
necessary as long as there's at least one blank character)

Yeah I know...I can say that I still don't believe..but it happens! :)
If you (or anyone here) has Netscape 6 (I'm using the 6.01) could try
the following codes:
--------------------------------------------------------
File: netscape6.php
<?php
echo "<HTML><BODY>\n";
echo "this is a test...this is the first part<BR>\n";
echo "this is a test...this is the second part<BR>\n";
echo "<form method=\"POST\" action=\"netscape6.1.php\"
name=\"netscape\">\n";
echo "<input type=hidden name=var value=10>\n";
echo "<input type=submit name=go value=\"Test\">\n";
echo "</form>\n";
echo "</BODY></HTML>\n";
?>
--------------------------------------------------------
File: netscape6.1.php
<?php
echo "<HTML><BODY>\n";
echo "1) this is a test...this is the first part<BR>\n";
echo "this is a test...this is the second part<BR>\n";
if ( $var == 10)
{
include ('netscape6.2.php');
}
echo "this is a test...this is the last part<br>\n";
echo "</BODY></HTML>\n";
?>
--------------------------------------------------------
File: netscape6.2.php
<?php
echo "<h1>this is the other file...</h1>\n";
?>
--------------------------------------------------------
Ok, now that you have all the three sample files you can check for
HTML errors...
How I did the test:
1. Run Netscape 6
2. Access file netscape6.php
3. Press the 'Test' button that POST to netscape6.1.php
4. See the page and compare with the source code (View Page Source)
5. Surprise! They are different...the netscape6.2.php file is not in the
source.
6. Change the netscape6.1.php file on the following lines:
3: echo "2) this is a test...this is the first part<BR>\n";
5: // if ( $var == 10)
6: //{
8: //}
7. Great! Now that you just take the if statement out, clear the
Netscape
Cache (Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Cache -> Clear Memory Cache
and
Clear Disk Cache)
8. Access file netscape6.php again..
9. Press the 'Test' button that POST to netscape6.1.php
10. The result is the same that you've get before but now, when you view
the source code, the result of netscape6.2.php is there too..
11. Be sure to see the '2)' on the Page Source. If the '1)' is still
there
you need to clean your cache.
Anyone did this test? How Netscape know that there is an if statment
there??
Any point that I'm missing on this test?

Try the test above.. It shows the code but netscape doesn't know that.
See you,
