Hi Steve - Why would you be connecting to localhost if you are trying to access your server from a remote client? Localhost, I'm sure you know, is the *local* machine, meaning the one in front of you. This connection error is saying the remote machine cannot connect to itself - if it's not running a web server, you *should* get this error.
Is there a need to use an absolute URI for the second file - is it on another server or something? There should be no reference to the localhost at all in your script - just the second file [ action="file2.php" ] or a relative path [ action="second_dir/ file2.php" ] It sounds like you are trying to give it an absolute URI, something like: [ action="http://localhost/web_dir/file2.php"; ] Now, as to why IE doesn't puke on the error, that's a good question. We'd have to see your code to figure it out I suppose. hth |================| Chris Chapman [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Oct 11, 2005, at 7:05 PM, Steve Harp wrote: > Hi All, > > I have an index.php that offers login and, on submit, loads a second > page.
