Hi everyone

Here is my problem : I've got a form which I use to enter information
into a database. This form is quite complex and makes several server
calls during its use in order to update the information it displays
according to the data the user enters. This means that the same form is
reloaded several times, and each time some of its components are
updated.

Most of the time it works pretty well, but sometimes, when the form is
reloaded, nothing appears in Netscape's window, except the background
image and the title on the window's upper bar. Which is really
incredible is that the source (View/Page source) actually contains all
the data properly updated !!! So the server send the right data at the
right place, but the browser seems unable to deal with it.

The only solution to this bug is to reboot the machine, and try again
(it never works if I just re-open Netscape and clear the cache).
Sometimes it doesn't even work, so I have to go on another machine to
enter the data that "caused" this bug, and then go on working on the
first machine until the next bug unpredictably happens.

I have experienced this bug with Netscape 4.03 (english version) on NT4
Workstation Service Pack 3, and with Netscape 4.05 (french version) on
Windows 95, but it seems to be alright with Internet Explorer 3 on
Windows 3.1. The server is NT4 Workstation Service Pack 3 running BWS.

Has someone already experienced that ? What is the solution (if there is
one) ?
