*sheepish look* I doublechecked my pages and turns out I am using <%@ include file="header.jsp" %>. Thanks for the info - I didn't realise the OH issue or the underlying include workings. I can work around this issue - but I'm just getting curious/concerned that I'm doing something fundamentally wrong that will bring up issues later.. re: the output buffer - does that include the header file or just this particular JSP? The header file can get big.. but again, it works fine before I follow a certain sequence of actions and return to the first page..
