Weird. I wonder how they do that. Like you say, it doesn't work in
Netscape 4.5 on Linux. But if I open the frame with the form in a 
_separate_ window I am able to edit the fields, do a search and get
the results in the other window.

Well, I've never understood why they couldn't just put the tables
there. That's a wellknown user interface, and I hate having to learn
a new one everytime I am using an online service. Had to turn on
javascript to get http://www.trafikanten.no to work.

But I am probably too stupid to be in the target group...
