Description
We are getting a HTTP 404: Sorry, requested file not found... from Netscape 4.x only on the following link:
<A HREF="/surfer/connect/LU_GROUP_1/<TEMACRO CLOCKTICKS>"
 OnMouseOver="Switch('INTRANETPACT','DOWN','c')"
 onMouseOut="Switch('INTRANETPACT','UP','c')">
<IMG NAME="INTRANETPACT" 
     SRC="/IMG/INTRANETPACTUP.GIF"
     ALT="INTRANETPACT"></A><BR>

Location line in browser displays 

"http://<server name>:<port>/surfer/connect/LU_GROUP_1/<number>"

Interestingly enough, if user hits "Reload" on the 
browser, 
"http://<server name>:<port>/docs/surfer.css 
is displayed...

We only get this error in that particular version of the Netscape. All versions of IE work, and the older 3.x Netscapes work also.

Comment Sorry for the behavior of the SupportCenter-- we are going to make it auto-fixup any sample HTML at some point. Meanwhile, anytime you input sample/example HTML, just put it in a PRE block and use the FixSampleCode button to run some escaping JavaScript which will find all stuff between PRE block tags and escape the leading < characters.

Now, as to your problem. SORRY-- you must have a very new 2.0.4 build, as in around 2.0.4N we implemented extended attributes for both 5250 and 3270 using a style sheet, and it is being included for any Netscape4+ browser.

Fix-- have all your Netscape users use 3 or lower. Just kidding. Grab ftp://ftp.ieinc2.com/pub/surfer/surfer.css and copy to \screensurfer\hostserver\docs and this will fix the problem.
