Unfortunately I need the screen to update. The main problem is somethign
screwy under netscape where if I order something and am bounced back to
the catalog page, hit reload, and then order something else I get
bounced to the 'page (expired) not found' warning. As I said, it work
under IE without a hitch, only under netscape. I can't have it refresh a
frame because we don't use frames so it has to refresh the entire page.
Why netscape has to make a mess of things I do not know. 

Anyway, if anyone has a suggestion let me know.
