Whenever I run my page <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.azur-vacations.com/antico">http://www.azur-vacations.com/antico</a><!-- m --> in a Netscape browser I get the pure text file in the browser and not the Web page. In the Microsoft Explorer browser I get the Web page OK.<br />
<br />
I have noticed also that the same page when run locally on my own computer (off-line) is displayed OK for both Netscape and MS Explorer.<br />
<br />
Also, when I run <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.virtus-web.ch/uniswiss">http://www.virtus-web.ch/uniswiss</a><!-- m --> (which is run out of another ISP , not the same as the one used for <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.azur-vacations.com/antico">http://www.azur-vacations.com/antico</a><!-- m --> above) in either the Netscape or MS Explorer browser the page is properly displayed.<br />
<br />
I saved the uniswiss page on my computer and uploaded it to my the same ISP as <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.azur-vacations.com/antico">http://www.azur-vacations.com/antico</a><!-- m -->. Now when I run <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.azur-vacations.com/uniswiss">http://www.azur-vacations.com/uniswiss</a><!-- m --> in Newscape I get the same problem, i.e. pure text in the browser and not the Web page. Also this same page will display OK in MS Explorer.<br />
<br />
To me this seems to be some problem with the way things have been configured at the ISP end and is thus something I have no control over. <br />
<br />
Is there anyone out there who could tell me where the problem lies in the ISP's configuration? I would like to inform them so they can fix this for me.<br />
<br />
Thanks if you can help.<br />
