Click on 'add to cart'. You'll be bounced back to the page you just
ordered from. Then hit reload. Now add something else to the cart and
you'll get the expired URL. If you *do not* hit reload after ordering
something you *won't* get to the expired page and all will act as it
should. Again, this is only under netscape, not IE.

Right.

It is using post at this time. I only used GET for a very short period
to see if it woudl help with the problems. It didn't so I switched back.
I'm going to look into the truncation issue.
