Simple .shtml test

Hello everyone,

Here's my problem.... Can someone tell me why this <servlet> tag works in IE and not Netscape. The 'ssiexample.shtml' example that came with ServletExec works fine in both IE and Netscape. The 'login' servlet is registered in ServletExec admin. Therefore I do not need the 'code' or 'codebase' in the <servlet> tag.

When 'test.shtml' is opened in Netscape, it just displays the HTML codes on the page. INCLUDING the response generated by the 'login' servlet.

Here is the 'test.shtml' snippet:

<HTML><HEAD><title>TEST PAGE</title></HEAD>
<p>my .shtml test</p>
<BODY> <SERVLET NAME="login"> </SERVLET></BODY></HTML>

Here is the 'login' snippet:

try {
    String name = null;
    con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@mail:1521:ora", "vahps", "manager");
    stmt = con.createStatement();
    rs = stmt.executeQuery ("select username from user_pass where userclass = 'test'");
    out.println("<FORM>");
    out.println("<SELECT NAME=selname>");
    out.println("<OPTION SELECTED VALUE=0> --Choose a Name--");
    int i = 1;
    while (rs.next()) {
      name = (rs.getString("username"));
      out.println("<OPTION VALUE=" + name + ">" + name);
    }
    out.println("</SELECT></FORM>");
}
    catch (SQLException e) {
     out.println("SQLException caught: " + e.getMessage());
     }
     catch (Exception e) {
     out.println("<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Connection Failure</TITLE></HEAD>");
     out.println("<BODY>Cannot connect to db.Bad connection script<BR>");
     out.println(e.getMessage() + "<BR>");
     out.println("</BODY></HTML>");
     }

Here is what get displayed in Netscape:

<HTML><HEAD><title>TEST PAGE</title></HEAD>
<p>my .shtml test</p>
<BODY>
<FORM>
<SELECT NAME=m1>
<OPTION SELECTED VALUE=0> --Choose a Name--
<OPTION VALUE=ray>ray
<OPTION VALUE=birnie>birnie
</SELECT></FORM>
</BODY></HTML>
