I have a set of dynamically created websites which allow people to search for data on different products. On the first seach screen the user chooses which product type they want to look at (i.e. "Desktop Computers") and the second screen shows them the data (which is called from a mysql db) and ways to further narrow the search ("machine speed", etc.). The data and the search options are both dynamically produced based on the product chosen on the first page.

My problem is this: All the pages work just fine, except when you search for "Printer" in IE. In IE you get the error:
"The page cannot be displayed The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings."

Searching for "Printer" in Netscape is not a problem.

Has anyone come across this problem before? I don't even know how to start to debug it.
 
I think I figured it out. I'm coding the thing in Perl, and the string I entered into one of the Perl functions (which builds the html that is displayed) was too long. Since this isn't really an html problem, I won't go into it, but if anyon'es interested let me know.
