Yet interesting if you look at the 'sorce' for the html, the source
responds as expected formatting the text correctly withou the
added lines  ||   .

The problem in this is that Netscape and other
web browser respond to this type of situation differently
so what appears normal in Netscape - in Explorer
it either looks like a run-on sentence with || lines
or it has too many lines add, e.g. double or tripled
space.

If you would like a working example of this bug feel free to contact me
and I can point you to a CGI DB interface.
