Result link

If you go to this URL and choose the top result it will fail. However if you copy and paste the URL in the result into the browser it will work. Any ideas. As always thank for your help.

Why would the link work just fine outside of Webinator?

I went ahead and commented out <header name=Location value=$u> and I also commented this text

It works just fine now. Do these changes cause other problems or remove functionality?

I am having an interesting reaction that wasn't there before I made this modification. The back button won't work when you select this result. It works correctly in Firefox but not in IE. What can I do?

By removing the Location header you've changed the protocol level redirect replacement page to a regular web page that forwards the browser somewhere else. When you hit back you get to the redirect page again and browser obeys the meta refresh command to redirect.

You could change the meta refresh time from 0 to something longer so the user has a chance to hit "back" again before being forwarded.
