Yeah... Anyone got details of what does and doesn't work re forms?

Just lately I filled in one form, got the not unusual string of messages
that fields that I'd filled in were not filled in, then a few hours later
got an email response to the bits "not filled in"
So now I don;t know how to tell when it's working and when it isn't!

Also, sometimes, the output from CGIs doesn't seem to register when it's
finished... It sticks at the final number of bytes, but doesn't display...
I've found out that pressing the left mouse button and selecting what
should be the current page will display it...

(If I've confused you, no surprise - I've confused me too)

Does anyone have a definitive list of what is and what is not currently
implemented????

BTW: I don't know if anyone else is doing this, I've not read it here
AFAIR...
 
I use an Atari STe, so normally CAB is limited to dithered monochrome;
HOWEVER if you run Monster (a screen expander) you can get the display
dithered to 16 colours - not perfect but a big improvement!
