It's possible the web server might be doing this if the page contains for example php code that includes conditional logic (ie if/then/else ) or possibly style sheets (.css) or a multitude of other things you'd have to intentionally use. More likely it's a caching issue. Plenty of times I have found that when doing web development it's important to eliminate proxy/caches from the equation, this includes the local browser cache. Frequently I've been caught out thinking my perl/php/html code was the problem when it was just an old version being cached, mind you only for a few minutes. Here's a few steps you can do to try isolating the problem:- * Load up a different GUI browser on the same machine that hasn't seen the page before. * try lynx -source <url> |less * try export http_proxy="http://proxy-address:port/";; lynx -source <url> |less * compare above lynx operations between workstation & web server itself. IE login to the web server & run lynx. ---<GRiP>--- -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
