Hey there,
i have a python cgi script that prints out html just fine in the Opera
browser
but doesnt print at all under FireFox.
weird, eh?
i am getting nothing in the apache logs about any error.
perhaps its a firefox issue, but i doubt it.
any suggestions. simple script here..

Try View Source under Firefox, you should see everything that you're
printing from your CGI on the server. The server side CGI will do the
same thing no matter what browser is requesting the page.
Next, take that source and paste into into some app that will look for
problems like tags that aren't balanced (Dreamweaver is what I'd use.)

Yes, I agree that it is best to check the HTML source code of the page
that is being generated. The server is obviously generating the code,
but the difference here is how the two browsers are interpreting the
HTML data.
Check the source code for the HTML document. I bet the problem resides
in the page itself.

Well, i don't have an app that will automaticlly check a page for
errors,
unless bluefish will do it, i am not sure.
the page it is supposed to print out is a response to a form entry.
here is the source from Opera if one of you guys want to look at it.

THIS is in the wrong location... You've just told a decent
browser that this is the end of the displayable content.

Right. To get HTML that will work in any browser, <URL: http://www.anybrowser.org/campaign/ >, you really need to validate
your HTML. w3.org provides a public validator at <URL: http://validator.w3.org/ > (as well as validators for CSS, RDF, XML
Schema and link checking). If you're going to be doing a lot of work
with such formats, you probably want to install a validator
locally. Lots of options for that, depending on what kind of system
you're using.
BTW, practical experience is that you write your application to follow
the standards, then go back and work around the bugs in various
versions of IE.
